I found another poster with the same problem in 2013. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-lawn-garden/282256-new-x758-problems-already.html I know that JD likes to cut corners using cheap imported parts. the tractor I have needed the plastic needle valves replaced with stainless steel, the idler pulleys for the mower belt rusted, and had to be replaced, they use fully sealed, as opposed to the original, shielded bearings, and some used friction bearings for the front wheels, instead of fully shielded ball bearings, and the paint is coming off in some areas because of improper prepping for paint. this is all I can think of for now, I think your problem is the Idler pulleys for the belt..

The JD la145 might be "cheap", but the JD X758 is not.. just sayin....

just because something is expensive, don't mean JD won't cut corners to make the price a little more competitive!. they DID fill the more expensive equipment with custom made, only available from JD modules!..

Just pulled a spindle on the wife's x744 with the 62c deck. The bearings top to bottom were well lubed and the bearings did not have seals. Outboard of each bearing there was a separate seal that rode on a spacer between bearing and pulley (top). I normally give each spindle 5 pumps every 3rd time mowing. I don't have excess grease outside of the seal but it is well lubed.
Hello all - took the tractor back to dealer without the deck on since it was noisy w/o it, spent a week there took the PTO all apart and couldn't find anything wrong and submitted a ticket to JD. After 3-4 days JD came back with some will do that, I was shocked at the response from JD. Techs said they fired up the new ones on the lot and some made the same noise. Mowing last night and almost to the point where I have to earplugs in and then the ear muffs. Very disappointed for the money spent, have a 62D for my 2520 and when mowing with that it just purrs. Up to 50 hours on the machine and just did all the maintenance, won't be long before it goes back.
does anyone have issues with noise coming from their auto-connect? Much noisier when the deck is on. Deck itself seems ok, grease spindles and scalp wheels every other mowing which is every 4-5 hrs per or 8 - 10 between lubes. The machine is awesome but the noise is a PITA.
asked the Tech's what's the next step, said I should call the 800 number on my manual, will that going as well.
thanks all
