Interesting. Mine had been getting slowly worse for a while now and it was finally to the point of being ear piercing. Once I took it off and spun it, I could feel how ratty it was. It made it for 13 years and like 400 hours of very hard work, so it was time.Mine's really noisy when the mower deck isn't on. I usually engage the PTO to stop the noise. But I don't know if it's a bearing or just the metal plate making light contact with the magnet.
