I was cleaning my deck through the hose port after a mow (smelled rubber much of the time I was mowing). While I was cleaning the deck the blades stopped moving and the belt (less than 2 years old) blew out in pieces. unsure why this happened. I ordered 2 spindles to install, but I dont know why...

Both ends of both blades. No sand in my soil.

I dont loan anything because it always comes back broken. Good tip though.

Thank you everyone who responded. Your answers have been very helpful.. :D

It's not a wear down, that piece looks like it broke off, it's not a smooth wear surface.

Any idea what's causing this on my Troy-bilt 42" rider? These blades were only installed 2 years ago. There is no gravel on my 1-acre.

Troy Built rider mower, 42" purchased in 2017. The blades are getting chopped up as shown in this picture. I only drive this on my lawn. Any suggestions why this is happening?
