Thanks,



Measuring the deck height dosn't matter if a spacer is missing on one
of the spindles, or put back on incorrectly. Both blades have to have
the same height from the ground.

Measure the distance from the underside of the deck (close to the
spindle) to the blade. Make sure you are measuring from the same deck
height because some decks have areas pressed intot hem that will be a
different height. Or, if you can rotate one blade so that it is close
to touching the other blade, both should be the same. If not,
disassemble and find the problem. You may have to take the blades off
to figure it out.

Good luck,

Hank
