My son helped me put blades on.......
A week ago I took the blades off & sharpened them. I used an impact wrench & my son wanted to help. He wanted to put them back on. He took the blade, put it on, then the washer & started the nut on all & then tightened them. I then mowed the yard. The whole time thinking to myself that it wasn't cutting very well. I then took the deck off again & took one of the blades off to try to find a match locally. Fast forward a week when I go to put the blade back on. I notice that the other two do not match orientation of the one I just put on. in my dad role watching my son use the impact wrench, making sure he didn't get hurt, I didn't realize that all the blades were on upside down. So the blade was hitting the grass on the blunt side, not the nice sharpened edge I just created. It mows much better on the sharp side.

Not ashamed to admit I've done this once before. Don't know if I was distracted or what but I put one blade upside down and was not getting a very even cut. Needless to say, deck came back off
 Anywho, props to you for putting being a good dad and keeping your kid safe over getting a blade backwards

I had a friend take a his tractor to a dealer to have it serviced and when he got it back it mowed horribly and he couldn't figure out why, it took me all of 5 seconds to figure out they had the blade on the discharge side on upside down.

That's a teachable moment for both you and your son. None of us are infallible and I have even done the same with my chainsaw. We always have to be prepared to laugh at ourselves. Best to make a mistake than lose the lesson. The main thing is dad and son spent quality time together and everyone was safe!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
