Let's just say it is a 20" blade. That is 10" from the center bolt or it's pivot point to the tip. The deck will be approximately 10-1/4" minimum distance from that same point. It is physically impossible to bend a blade (by hitting a stick of any size) in such a way that it becomes longer. The deck *must* be bent for that to happen. Either the spindle mounting point was twisted causing the blade pivot point to move or the edge of the deck was pushed into the path of the blade. Either way that would take a pretty substantial amount of force and more than the stick you describe could possibly be responsible for. Sorry Art this deck is not like other decks, I know exactly what your talking about, but this deck dips down at the discharge (behind it), I guess it's some kinda aerodynamic thing, If you want I can post a link to a picture. Clark Actually, it is like all other mower decks. The back of the deck is set at the depth desired and the front is a little higher. The idea is that the mower deck cuts twice. The front of the blades make the first cut higher than the depth setting and the trailing edge makes the second cut to the depth desired. Instead of leaving long blades of cut grass, there will be shorter pieces. No, you have that backwards. The blade is tipped ever so slightly forward to cause the front edge to be just slightly lower. This greatly increases the vacuum and it it lowers the drag on the blade. But I agree that his deck is like others. Basic deck design pretty much the same across the board. The deck will dip down behind the discharge. That is what "encourages" the air and grass to leave through the discharge chute. -- Art |
