Can anyone tell me the trick to getting the hub to hold still to get the blades off for sharpening? I'm sure I am overlooking something real simple, but it has me stumped. Thanks in advance. David

In your post on the Supertrapp mufflers, I don't think I ever saw this problem addressed. Did the addition of the muffler solve the problem of burning up grass with the hot exhaust when you sit in one spot for more than a few seconds? From looking at it on their website, it appears that it...

Okay guys, am I a genius or a moron? I reached the 50 hour point on my 425 and did the maintenance including the hydraulic filter change. Naturally I turned what should have been a simple job into a real chore. On the current 425's with the Robin engine, the bleed port on the hydraulic pump...
