Hi Nick,

I don't think the spindle bearing plate has been installed on the wrong side of the deck and it's probably not possible
with your Deutscher mower but is just something I would check on a machine if it's possibly put together wrong because
of the cutting height and you always check nothing is damaged as I've seen a lot of damaged 3 mm thick blades ,they
most probably damaged the blades from hitting concrete drain covers or not seeing concrete pavers etc.

I knew of your reply about the step measurement on the Deutscher blades and only mentioned I hadn't heard from them
because you said you sent Deutscher a message and it was my way of saying they may not respond because my
question had no response from Deutscher.

If the blade plate is mostly flat another option is to drill holes closer to the centre line of the blade plate and install the longer stepped blades
without cutting the length down of the blade or drilling the blade holes out in the blades.


Cheers
Max.
