....when the middle blade spacer is on the wrong side of the blade AND the blade is upside down.
After an afternoon of beautiful mowing of spring growth our on Scag Wildcat 61" I pulled the blades and sharpened them and went to the house. Wow this thing is a hoss.
Monday my wife calls me at work and says the mower is not mowing worth a crap. Says its leaving a strip in the middle so I figure I must have not tightened the blade enough or something. She and her sister looked the blades over and couldn't see anything wrong.
When I got home I took a look and could immediately tell that the middle blade spacer was below the blade, should be above the blade. So the blade is about 1.5" higher than the other blades. On top of that the blade is upside down. So apparently I had the blade/spacer upside down and in my haste mounted it that way.
Amazing how great it mows when the blades are installed correctly......
