Belt broke. Not a big deal, it was due. So I ordered the replacement and got my dad to help since taking the deck of is an annoying PITA.
We replaced it, took 20 minutes or so. Go to test it and dad says my blade must be dull as heck. He takes a look and…
Its been nearly two years since I had new mulch blades put on it by a local shop. They put them on goddamn backwards and I didn’t notice. I have been beating my grass to death instead of cutting it. Almost 2 years, ughh
honestly … I’ve mounted one of the two blades backward a while ago. It was an fairly easy discovery, one blade cut grass, the other just smashed it around which gave a lot of rumble in the deck
edit: wait … you managed driving around with blades for 2 years?? I meet so many stones I sometimes wonder if I make it 2 hours. (yes, I once cleared the garden of stones, but Swedish soil is very much alive, they re-appear in other places only to move to another place again and again)
The frost brings those bloody things up.
