It is really easy to install a lawn mower blade upside down. And get called out on it by your smart ass 18 yr old.

Hey, I installed cabinet pulls on the inside of the door once, because that's the side I happened to be facing.

Been there, done that, wife will never let me live it down.......
Saw it on a lawn tractor with three blades.
All three upside down.
Owner wondered why it was not cutting well.

But it should be able to hover now, right?

I wish that would be cool, uncontrollable but still cool while it lasts
You have all heard the story about the guy tooling around the lake in his powerboat with the trailer still attached?
That wasn't me
But I did see a guy back his boat down the ramp loaded with sacks of concrete so heavy the boat never came off the trailer.

Thats funny. Wonder what he needed that much concrete on a boat for
I once installed a sway bar upside down, in a car where you have to drop the K member to service it, figured it out AFTER I had the k member torqued down, in February, working outside(crash repair).
If the 18yo is so smart.. make him fix it

He's smart enough to get out of playing with the mower.

There ain't enough bandwidth to list all the stupid things I have done. Most recent was thinking 'surely Atkins Rotary wouldn't incude the wrong dimension O rings'.

No, he does the mowing. I was just getting the blade changed out quickly because it was getting ready to storm like hell yesterday. Get it done and put up.
Sooo, if you put the blade on upside down does the grass get longer?

Smartass.
On another note I seriously want to find one of those hover mowers
In reply to ryanty22:
You can still buy them http://www.toro.com/en-us/golf/mowers/specialty/Pages/Series.aspx?sid=HoverProSeries
To push all the grass flat, thereby reducing any need to cut it.... Different strokes I suppose.
I looked at the toro site and have an email into them asking about local dealers and prices
We did a refurbish on my brothers lawn tractor last week. Long story short he didn't remember that I had removed the blades for replacement/sharpening and he spent a while disassembling and confused as to why it would not cut! He spent his time on replacing belts and pulleys...deck was my job! I could not even rub it in or he would remind me of the time he found my new throwout bearing still on the bench...then 3 hours later he asks why I have 2 pilot bearings sitting on the cart.
