I have a Craftsman 23hp 48" deck ,(3 blade), garden tractor and I removed
the mower blades for sharpening. I didn't think to notice how they were
oriented to each other before I removed them and I wondered if anyone knows
how they are supposed to be mounted in relation to one another, 90 degrees
to each other, 135 degress to each other, etc. for an optimal cut. It
doesn't seem to be cutting as well as it used to and I was wondering if I
didn't put them back on correctly.

Thanks,
Snydley

If one blade is a different length than the other two it usually goes
on the center spindle.
