Mowing BX 60in MMM Center Blade Not Engaging

[gmikem206]

Hi all, hoping someone will point me in the right direction. The center blade on the mmm is not engaging. I can easily move it by hand, and it does have a little bit of play or wobble. Would this most likely indicate a problem with the shaft assembly or a gear box problem? The outer blades are engaged and work fine. This is the RCK60B-23BX MMM on my BX2660. I'm going to pull the deck now and take a closer look.

Thanks, Mike

I would say the shaft blade center PN: K5371-33500, might as well replace the bearings too: PN: 08101-06205
