I took the blades off of my RCK54 deck to sharpen them. Each one has 2 conical washers and one hex ID washer. To me it seems like that's 1 more conical washer than there should be. On 2 of the blades they were stacked and oriented like they should be with a single washer. On the other one they were facing, keeping the bolt tight for quite a few threads. What is correct?

Stacked and oriented like they should be with a single washer is the proper way.

Do you have the WSM for the deck?

Btw, I use anti-seize compound on the bolts when replacing the blades, and torque them to 80 lb/ft.

Thanks Jim. No I don't have a manual. Kubotabooks seems more difficult to navigate than it did when bought my L1500 and none of the YouTube videos I found showed it.
