John Deere Z445 blade problem

19 years ago

I have a zero turn radius mower, a JD Z445 54". It is still pretty new with only 20 hours on it. It has three blades.

I took the blades off to get them sharpened. When I operated the mower after I put the blades back on, I could hear a loud racket. Upon investigation I found that the tip of one blade was hitting the tip of the other as evidenced by fresh score marks.

I verified that the blades were installed with the sharp edge closest to the ground and torqued to 60 foot-lbs.

I checked the owners manual, but that didn't help.

Any ideas?
