3 blades on mower deck, which way to put them?
I have a Toro tractor, 46" deck, 3 blades.
center blade is a little smaller than the 2 outer blades.
I took them off sharpened them and now left wondering if there is a specific way to put them back on.
I have them on now in a sychronized fashion.
Outer blades slanted like the letter W opposite each other.
And the center blade mounted so that the 2 outer blades when rotated, DON'T come end to end with the center balde at any point.
I did this for fear that if a rock got sucked up and the 2 ends of the blade came together, the rock would jam the blades and break something.
As it is now, the ends of the blades when rotating don't ever come near each other.
But the problem I am seeing on the lawn is a thin streak of uncut grass on each pass.
The blades are on correctly, but my question might be confusing.
It is the position or angle of the blades
relative to one another.
Rule #1 - when you take something strange apart, note on a piece of paper what you removed and in which order. Man- it will save you so much time and worry.
