I have a neighbor that brought me his blades to sharpen.

Couple weeks later he brought the mower over and asked me to look and see if he had the belt installed right.

He put a new belt on because it hadn't mowed right the last couple weeks, and still didn't with a new belt.

The belt was fine. I reached under the deck to spin a blade and check the bearings, and started laughing. Couldn't help it.....:D:D

yes...I ihad a guy give me a Allis 710 once

It quit mowing nice so he went and bought a new Deere

When I got home I looked the gift horse in the (deck)mouth and the blades were all on upside down:D

Seen it a couple times..that, and belts on the deck pulley backward. A buddy of mine swore off Simplicity due to that once. 5 years later and he is still cutting grass, happily now!

I have seen them installed upside down straight from the store!

You learn to really appreciate the RBT's when you mount the deck on upside down..................

We call that "mowtotilling" around here. Combination of mowing and rototilling. Not recommended for nice yards.....
