k-348-7 Finish mower

[quonnie]

So I have a K-348-7 finish mower and I went to replace the blades and found out this deck needs left handed blades, or can I change the rotation of the blades somehow so that they can use regular right handed blades.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I read that this mower comes in two versions. One is for USA that has a CW turning gearbox, the other is Grey Market (Asia, ?) which has the CCW turning gearbox.

If you use the CCW turning mower on a US tractor, the blades are turning the wrong direction and the "blade bolts" are then also spinning in the wrong way and can loosen during operation. Does your mower have blade retaining bolts that are reverse thread (you turn them CW to loosen)?
