OK. I guess I'll run this out there and see if I'm really off base. I got a mower in today and it had a pair of convex or domed washers holding the blade on. It's been a LONG time since I've seen a mower with this type of contraption. The way they WERE on, was one stacked on top of the other and both on the bolt side of the blade. I didn't realize what they were until I had the bolt and washers in my hand. I always thought those two convex washers were supposed to be mounted with one on each side of the blade, center of the dome out. Then, as you tighten the bolt, the outer edges of the washers start to squeeze together to create a miniature vise.
So, am I all wet, or is that the correct way to use those convex washers?
