timflury Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 .... and other things.I pulled the deck on the 728. I know I have some rust repair to do on the deck.The blades on it are virgin! Yet they were installed upside down.
rokon2813 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 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
SmilinSam Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 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
Talntedmrgreen Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 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!
fishnwiz Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I have seen them installed upside down straight from the store!
Brettw Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 You learn to really appreciate the RBT's when you mount the deck on upside down..................

TimJr Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 We call that "mowtotilling" around here. Combination of mowing and rototilling. Not recommended for nice yards.....
