That edger is in excellent shape for being is old as it is (based on the engine model) I love my Trail Mate walk behind edger. It is 38 years old and trims like I used scissors on the edge. I see blade experimentation. in your future. I know I have experimented with all kinds of blades but have returned to the simple rectangular shape with 4 sharpened edges so that the blade is reversable. The curves take a little finesse. I usually lift the rear wheels off of the ground so I can turn the edger easier. I also end up hitting the blade a little on the concrete creating a few sparks. I am going to check the belt however, after watching this video -Thanks!

I appreciate the comment and the advise. It definitely is in great shape for how old it is. No rust and and unit Looks more like 2 years old vs 10-20 years old. 👍🏻

Great video I have a Mclane edger that is about 30 years old. When it come to turns you should tip the edger up into the front left wheel and it will turn much smoother. It takes a little practice.

Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate the support 👍🏻

Would Star Edger Blade work better?

[@dwaynesworldlawn]

Never tried it. I prefer oem as the one installed worked out great. I appreciate the comment and question 👍🏻
