R1000 Grass catcher stays empty

[Cheapoldfart]

The blade/deck combo was working fine until I sharpened the blade. Seems to me that just sharpening the blade shouldn’t have an effect on the way the cut grass/leaves flow under the deck.

$30 bucks on a new blade is pretty steep if I don’t know if it will fix the problem.

I’m not trying to be obstinate— I’m just trying to figure out what the issue is before throwing money at it.
