Yep I am on the same line of thinking.I have re-assembled both the mowers (so I dont lose track) and put them in the think about it line.It seems that each of the Quantums I have has the same issue so I might try and get a more accurate measurement and see what i come up with.With a more accurate reading I might be happy with what I see.If I dont like what I see I'll play around a bit when time permits.
