Rotary Cutter LandPride deck issue

[unbidden]

I have a LandPride FDR 1560 mower deck. Every 10 seconds or so I get a loud buzzer like sound/vibration. The noise is similar to the wrong answer buzzer on Family Feud. I've greased all joints and replaced the belt, belt tension is good. Is it worn bearings?

I know I left myself open for a few chuckles with Fam Feud analogy... what's life without a few laughs ;-)

Ill pass on the jokes that come to mind including the ones about bees, etc. Take the belt off and spin each spindle and the idler pulley. They should all spin free and smooth. If there is any roughness you have found your problem. Most likely camdidate is the idler pulley.

Thanks OTF. After checking things per your advice I believe you are spot on.
