May be the wrong blades or the bearings have gone bad;my bet is the bearings.Remove the blades and try again.

I am betting something is broken and unbalanced, or one of the bearings you put is is defective, even if you just bought a new one, dont assume it isnt the problem. I would inspect everything closely, to look for any dammage, or defects. Try spinning the bearing by hand, and see if it spins freely, or if it wobbles.
WELL I DID LOOK CLOSER AND FOUND THAT THE MAIN PULLEY FOR THE DECK WAS BINDING SO I ALSO REPLACE IT AND IT HELP BUT NO TOTALLY.I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP AND SEND IT TO THE DEALER AND THOUGHT I WOULD JUST CUT MY FRONT YARD AND IT FINALLY BROKE.THE PTO PULLEY BROKE IN HALF AND DESTROYED THE BELT.I HAVE ORDERED THE PATS AND WILL LET YOU KNOW IF IT IS FIXED.I COULD SEE A RUSTED SPOT ON THE PULLEY THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FRACTURE.THANKS:confused2:
