Deck Problem!

I buy blades 12 at a time from Ebay. I go through probably 8 sets a year easily. I get a mowing or two out of them and then they get sharpened. I will sharpen them once or twice before they are too far gone to use.

That looks like something slashing the deck
This problem usually happens when a blade is badly bent and often associated with a fractured spindle housing and or collapsed bearings the allows the blades to tilt & strike the deck .

Look a little closer at the photo and you will see other places where it looks raised. This is all from the deck being blasted by sand and eventually wearing completely through. I am in the process of adding sheet metal to the underside to prevent this from getting worse. Eventually I will have to find a replacement deck.

Agreed, but it is difficult to find them anywhere. I have used medium lift blades before don't have a good source.

Thanks for the link, but there is not an option for a medium or low lift blade for my 54" deck.
Yeah, there aren’t a lot of blade options for a 54” deck. I experienced the same problem when I had a 54” Toro.
