I AM TRYING TO HELP MY SON WITH HIS SIMPLICITY REGENT 17 HP 40" DECK. iT LEAVES A STRIPE DOWN THE MIDDLE WHEN CUTTING. THE BLADES ARE NEW IJUST PUT THEM ON THEY ARE THE EXACT ONES THAT WERE ON IT BUT THOUGHT I WOULD TRY. I MEASURED THE OVERLAP AS THEY ARE A TIMED BLADE AND THEY OVER LAP BY ABOUT 1". ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I checked several things and no I am not mowing to fast I tried at all speeds. I was talking to the parts guy at the auto parts store about the issue. He suggested the deck may not be level. I checked and it was not it was at least a half bubble low in the front. adjusted that problem solved. go figure. Thanks for the response maybe this will help someone else.
