RE: (ET) Mower Deck blades!

["Kleinbrahm, Bob" <rkleinbrahm firstrepublic com>]

On my tractor with the blades correctly fitted with the cutting edge
closest to the ground, the blades turn counter clockwise.

OK, just for the record to make sure we are all saying the same thing:

If one flips up the deck while on the tractor and then stands facing the

front of the tractor, looking at the bottom of the flipped up deck, 
should the motors be turning clock-wise or counter-clock-wise?

For the blades with a corner bend a little on each end, should that make

that tip of the blade closer to the ground or closer to the shell of the

deck as compared to the rest of the blade?
