I find using a 3M sanding-sponge, after each mow, keeps the blades very sharp. It only takes a few passes, about 30 seconds.

Now I understand. Your statement "4 pounds of product" was confusing me. I didn't realize you were referring to the actual NPK amounts.

LouisvilleGrubber,

You can find a 1/2" torque wrench at HF for ~$20. That is what I use.

Re: Rounded-off blade bolt

Walk-behind, rotary-blade mowers require less than ~60ft/lbs of torque to fasten the blade assembly. How did you round off a bolt head, with that little of force and the proper size socket?

Try some penetrating oil and a pair of quality vise grips. Also, don't use an impact to fasten the assembly.
