Gap in cut using Z54

#1

Hi Folks,
I have a two year old Husqvarna Z54 zero turn mower that is leaving a nearly 2“ gap between the left and center blades when cutting. Happens at all blade heights. Happens with the old blades and with new blades just installed.
I’ve lifted the unit up and see no obvious misalignment under the deck.
I’ve searched online but cannot find any similar situations posted.
Anybody have a clue?
Many thanks in advance.
Bill

Let's start an obvious questions. How is the tip clearance between blade tips as they meet? And are they on correctly.; not upside down?.

And I not finding a Z54 but longer model numbers containing Z54.

Mismatched blades?
One blade upside down?
Bad spindle?
Bent deck or spindle mounting flange?
Deck level?

Sorry, Z254. No obvious gap between the blades and, yes, blades installed correctly (grass side down as marked).

Then it might the leading deck baffle bent causing the grass to be laid down ahead of the cut.

I see a lot deck baffles bent and have to straighten them
