As long as you get the correct ones for your machine, I don't see that you will have any problems, unless, your deck is bad. In the pics, it looks fine, I might add. If you get off brands and they hit, I'd say just "trim" them a bit. Also, if the dividers around the blades are worn out/ bent, it will leave a strip of grass, might check that out too. The only deck that is "timed" to my knowledge is the one from an Original Cub Cadet.  |
I wouldn't disagree with their longevity. These blades were given to me when I bought the deck two years ago. I've sharpened them a few times they are just getting to look more like rounded nubs then blades. When you say "dividers around the blades" are you referring to the strip that contours around the blades under the deck? If so, I'd have to admit, that is missing. They were pretty rusty. I have been thinking a bought replacing them. The grass issue is a recent problem after the last blade sharpening. The blades I have could very well be generic.
