Hi Darryl. One whole side plate was on an angle causing not just mid-alignment with the rollers and bedknife, but also the reel could not be adjusted to cut cleanly.
So I rebuilt the whole mower around the casting plate and checked as I tightened all the bolts up. I think my error may be that when initially built it up the casting and reel were the last parts to go in as they were being machined.
Must say that since I rebuilt this I am in love! Before I was a little disappointed but I am very satisfied now.
