multi-blade mower deck orientation

[schmism]

anyone give any thoughts to the orientation of the blades on a multi-blade deck?

/// or -|- or something else?

finishing up getting my mower deck ready for the first cut (ya technically i could have cut once or twice already) of the year. Finishing up a 6-8 hr maintenance job. between sanding and painting rust spots, a complete cleaning, blade sharping, bearing inspection, grease all points and rebuilding a front caster wheel that died.

It occurred to me i wonder if there is some special orientation of the blades relative to each other.

If I understand your question... Unless you have replaced the pulleys and belt with sprockets and a chain, you can set them any way you want. They will change while using them.
The belt will not keep the indexing while in use. KennyV.

Nope. Any old direction is fine. You can align them parallel if you wish, but they won't stay that way long.
