I replaced the long belt for the left and center blades and it made no difference. The blades are 20.5" in length, measured diagonally. The long belt spring is supposed to be 13-13.25" in length. I have it stretched a bit more to 13.5" to add some tension to the belt on the sheaves. The 2...

Thanks for all the recommendations/advice. I have a new long blade belt for the center/left blades and I'll get it installed this morning to see if that helps with the uncut grass striping on the left side. I don't have a short blade belt for the right blade, so I'll get one ordered and...
