Murray ride-on Mower with Briggs and Stratton Engine

Hi all, hope this is something u can help me with!

i've got a 15yr old Murray ride-on mower, it's got a 30" deck and a 10hp briggs and stratton engine - think it's a 195700 series engine? been working ok recently and i've just had it serviced - sharpened blade, new oil/fuel filters etc BUT it refuses to collect any of the grass cuttings in the bins on the back. the plastic tube that runs from the cutting deck to the bins just gets clogged up with grass cuttings after 20yds. it will do this even if i drive slow and have the cutting height set quite high. it's driving me mad and i have no idea what to do so any thoughts/suggestions would be really appreciated!

cheers

Sounds like it may have either the wrong blades or their positions are reversed from their original locations.
