That dog kinda looks like Zuul from Ghostbusters.  No offense or anything, cute dog.  But like the face shape reminds of him.

Do you guys have to take PTO just for your leaves?

This is why I left work early the other day.  It's an unending battle.  And who wants to spend their weekends taking care of leaves?  Not me that's who.

I mowed over a shitload of maple leaves last weekend. it's good for the earth. compost that grass it what the pros say to do. also I winterized the mower and put it away. threw away the 2016 mowing shoes. felt amaze.

Pipe clamp and a metal file are your lower cost alternatives

second option would be finding a big flat rock and slowly lowering your running lawn mower down over it until sparks start to fly for like an entire minute

as a guide, a poor answer to my question would be - "well you just unmount the blades and take them to some place and pay them $79.99 and then you remount the blades and it's almost impossible and you may as well just buy a new mower, but there you go.", while a good answer would be - "take the whole mower to this place and give them $10 and wait 5 minutes and that's it."

maybe!  how hard is unscrewing the old blade and putting on this new one?

If you can take them off, you can get them sharpened for fairly cheap at any lawnmower store

is this better than getting the new blade and is a lawnmower store the same thing as home depot or lowes?

anything that has "small engine" in the name is what you're looking for. usually have like 400 lawn mowers in front of some shitty building. maybe some four wheelers. snow blowers in cold places.
