That's a problem I've been dealing with for a few years. I knew what the problem was but never got around to fixing it until this spring. A number of factors can contribute to this. I assume that the appearance of a freshly cut swath indicates that the center blade is not cutting in the same plane as the outboard two blades are. Get your deck parked on an even surface and measure with a ruler the distance from the leading edge of each blade to the ground. The blades should be positioned so that their lengths are pointing forward. Is each measurement the same? Probably not--the center blade will have a larger measurement than the outboard blades. Is the blade bent? If so, replace. If not, then you need to explore other factors. Not very likely, but in my case, the deck was bent. If the center blade is running in a flat plane--there is an absence of a bent blade and/or the area where the center spindle is bolted to the deck is not heaved from the blade violently hitting an immovable object in its history, then you can shim the center spindle "downward" so that its blade runs in the same plane as the other two by simply installing washers on the spindle mounting bolts between the spindle housing and the deck. Let me know how this works out. I ended up using a press and pushing down on the deck to get it flattened out. It mows great now.

Maybe try your question at Garden Web. That forum is about small engines, but those guys know alot about grooming mowers.
