Blade alignment
Hello. I just recently joined the forum and need some help. I have an LTX1040 rider. I hit some rocks last year which ruined my blades and also threw off the timing (alignment) of the blades. I have the new blades on the deck and according to the manual, when the pulleys are lined up correctly, the blades do not. I lined up the blades correctly by reseting the drive belt and it works fine until I go to disengage the blades, then they hit each other when they slow to a stop. When I look under the deck, the blades are out of time and not 90 degrees apart. There is a triangle on each pulley for the alignment. Here are two photos, #2 & #3, of how the blades look when the pulleys are aligned correctly and two photos, #1 & #4 of how the pulleys look when the blades are lined up correctly. In the #3 photo of the top of the deck, the triangle on the left is at 3 o'clock and the right is at 6 o'clock, this is how the book shows the pulleys should be.
Can anybody help me trouble shoot this.  The repair shop is 3 weeks behind and they want $75. just to look at it.  Thanks IMG_0177.jpg IMG_0176.jpg IMG_0175.jpg IMG_0178.jpg

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
