Can I fit a spacer (and if so where can I get one) to lower the blade or will this effect the performance of my mower. The Blade is attached by a central bolt with 2 lugs either side that fit in holes in the blade. Never had this problem with my Old faithful Rovermower.
Is the blade worn and does it look bent . We recommend that you replace the blade once a year or have it sharpened . Maintaining your mower is always the best option . It should take up the daisies, also is the blade fitted correctly ?

ie. does it have a bend in it at the middle ?
