Where to posistion new blades on Craftsman 3 blade mover?

My mower leaves an uncut patch of grass about 6 inches wide about in the middle of the cut path. I have replaced all three blades and it did not help. Do the blades need to be installed in a set pattern? If so what is the pattern

I foregot to answer your Question! The blades on your mower are made so that ther pass each other with out hitting one an other. There is no set patern.

Does your mower have a wide roller in the frount of your mowers deck? If so that is probly your problem. This is a anti scalp roller and it may be pressing down the grass. Also check to see that the blades that you put on are installled correctly. On the blades them selfs you will read stampen on the blades This Side Up. Check to see if you may have the middle blade up side down. This will cause a cut difference in your deck. If all the blades are installed correctly than your problem is with the frount anti scalp roller. Check your operators manual for how to adjust the deck. Sure hope this helps. Let me know!
