Changed blades, not happy, right ones?

Thanks!
I should have checked the blades for a part number before I installed them. I'll do that soon.

The adjustments are made with the front hangers for front to back, and by placing washers under the rear hangers for left and right.
"IF" the old blades cut better, just put them back on.

thats the kind of problem solving that makes this the best cub forum on the net.

The new blades have a bigger wing which means they will make more lift and throw the grass out faster. The smaller wing blade will throw the grass slower, which means there is more time for the grass to be recut before it finally leaves the deck giving the appearance of finer clippings.

Good info.

Does anyone have a pic of where the washers go to level the deck?
I'm having a hard time picturing washers under the rear hangers (but I also haven't had my coffee yet)

Where exactly do the washers go for deck leveling?

thanks for all the help!

Between the bottom of the rear hangers and the top surface of the deck.

thanks!

This seems like a very tedious process with a heavy deck and stuck bolts.

So, if I'm understanding this correctly I will:

1. Raise deck to gain access to blades for measuring height.
2. Adjust the side to side level using washers under the rear hangers as needed.
3. Adjust front eye bolts for the front to back level.
4. Adjust deck stop to desired cutting height.
5. Engage float on deck lift.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks again for everyone's patience and info!

the deck wheels are adjustable also.
