What\'s happening with my mower blades?
I am at a loss as to what is happening to my blades on my JD L130 with 48 inch deck. I bought it used last year. The blades that were on it looked like someone had taken a grinder to the trailing edge of each blade. The part that bends up to give the grass lift was gone almost totally. I actually thought someone ground it off for some reason. So I put new blades on. Now I'll admit that if it cuts, I don't go looking for problems. But last weekend I happen to look at the blades. They were the same, the trailing edge gone. What's happening to my blades? I live where th soil is sandy. Could the sand be blasting my blades away? The leading edge was still reasonably sharp.
