Greetings, and thanks for reading. Have a question regarding the blades on an older mower I have. Picked the mower up last year after it had been sitting for 5-8 years. It's a '75 vintage John Deere rear engine #68 which probably has no bearing on my problem... Question is, when I mow grass and cut 2-4 inches off, the mower discharges 2-4 inch long waste. My newer push mowers, 21 inch units, even on discharge, seem to mulch the refuse up quite a bit. I think that the blades on there are fairly fresh, but still close to 10 years old. Would a pair of mulching blades on there do a better job of making a more presentable discharge? The way it is, almost looks like a hay field after a sickle mower has been thru there. <p>Thanks for any suggestions, (short of keeping the old blades and getting a new mower!).<p>Brad
