I built up some blades with L56 wire, the L56 wires appears to be more resistant to wear than the 1040 alloy the blades are made from.
So my idea build up worn blades with L56, homogenize, forge and heat treat them.
Also I can smell the exhaust so I put a tractor style straight pipe that's about 5 feet long on the riding mower.
These 19.5Hp engines run a bit hot and the head gaskets are known to pop, warping the head. Not scavenging the exhaust can cause an engine to run hot, pop head gaskets and what not.
