Time to pull maintenance on lawn mower

 After three years, the belt that powers the mower deck on my Cub Cadet Lawn mower broke. The design engineers ask a lot from this belt as the belt changes the mower power from engines' vertical pully to mower decks horizontal pully. A 90 degree turn using the belt and pullies. Strange design but fortunately one of the few strange designs on this mower. So, while I wait for a new belt which will arrive in 10 days and cost !8 with shipping it is time for maintenance. Today was remove the mower deck and clean the grass on the undercarriage and sharpen the 3 blades. (The blades were last sharpened 2 years ago.)
