lawn mower blade replacement?
I'm a newbie here and I need help. ..I have a John Deere 42" riding lawn mower. I am trying to replace the blades because I thought one was bent. I got the correct replacement blades, but notice that the blade will not clear the mower deck around the discharge area and is rubbing on metal. I know I can't use the mower in this condition. Any ideas? Thanks....
Check your mandrel. the part that the blade is attached to, you might have a bent unit. It would gouge the ground or look uneven on the cut.
If its bent you'll need to replace or realign it. You may have hit something like a rock or raised piece of ground.
