Sebenza Washers

[KAJNIN]

I've noticed on the older sebenzas, the 2 washers were the same size and on the newer sebenzas, the washers aren't the same size.
On the newer sebenzas, one washer is too big, in my opinion. This lets dirt and all kinds of crap to stick to the washer that's exposed. I know what your thinking... I'm not using the right kind of lubrication right? Well I use the lub the Reeves sell so I don't think that is the problem. I just wish they kept the smaller size washers.
Does anybody have this problem? I'm sure you do.

I bought a well used small and noticed it had slight blade play.
Took it apart and cleaned it and changed to one small and one large washer and it corrected the problem.
Makes sense to me that the larger washer gives better support to the blade.
