Re: (ET) one blade not cutting well

["Mike Wallace" <metman glasgow-ky com>]

This post about spacers/adapters for Gator blades got me to thinking about a 
question I've been meaning to ask the group.

In my collection of blade clutch bodies, I have two different lengths.  One
is a 1/4" longer that the other.  I'm about 90% sure that the longer blade
clutch is used on the 36" deck motors and the shorter one is used on 42"
decks.

Anybody know for sure?
