Sounds like all the shims are gone under the hold downs. Shims were to be removed to take up for wear. The knives should move freely but with some drag. Also check the guards for damage to the ledger plates. Count your fingers after each adjustment. Also, the lever to the right of the seat is known to hit your elbow when you least expect it when mowing with the beast. Both of our no. 7s went to the scrap yard and no one was sorry to see them go. Best regards to you!! LEH
