I have a 2008 LT1045 46" mower that has needed some TLC since I bought it used 2 years ago.
When cutting the grass, it's leaving behind 2 rows of (cut) grass clippings between blades 1 & 2 and blades 2 & 3. Here's my troubleshooting steps so far:
In re reading the manual, I did see that the rear of the deck needs to be about a 1/2' higher than the front. I will adjust that to see if that will help. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

- Cleaned under deck
- Leveled deck
- Replaced deck and drive belts
- Replaced deck pulleys
- Replaced blades and verified blades are installed correctly (grass side writing on blade is touching grass)
- Replaced all 3 spindles
- Noticed RPM's were not high enough at full throttle and increased throttle to just under max
- I have not replaced the tensioner but the felt feels tight enough.
