Make your own Backlap adapter for your McLane cylinder mower. This device can be used when backlapping your blades. You don’t have to use duct tape and you don’t need to spend $50USD most of these items you’ll have at home and you won’t even have to break your DeWalt drill in the process. Oh this is a 1977 Mclane not an 80's so its older than I thought.

You need your own home improvement show. I’d watch it just for the entertainment alone 😂😂

DUDE!!! You totally remind me of ME! Every time I try to save a few dollars I end up screwing stuff up and it costs me more than if I had just bought whatever I was trying to save money on.

It did suck, maybe my fault as I let the motor get pretty gummed up with saw dust and debris. I might be able to get a Chinese replacement motor off Amazon for cheap. Thanks for the sub.

I was thinking of doing the same thing! Thanks for showing and explaining the do's and don'ts of the project. I recently picked up a similar McClane with a 5hp Honda motor on it for $75 at an estate sale. I got the overpriced roller you spoke of just because the mower was so cheap. I was hesitant because the damn roller costs twice what I paid for the mower, but I caved.

I complain about the roller but it is a machined piece of metal with sealed bearing and mounting hardware. I imagine if McLane sold it it would be closer to $300 than $200. $75 seems like a steal, you don’t see these mowers up for sale where I am so I was happy to get mine. The alternative would have been a used Toro greensmaster for $1500CAD which is hard to justify when I just want to get my feet wet with reel mowing.

Your mower looks just like the one that came with our house….13yrs ago. My daughter just put in a Bermuda lawn at her house. Based on the size difference in our yards, I’ll be spending 1/4 of my time on my own lawn and 3/4 on hers…ain’t retirement grand???
