I have a new HD 52 which I am very happy with however there are a few quirky issues I seem to have.
The first is a ratteling noise that comes from the left hand side of the deck when to PTO is engauged. It is a very tinny sound like something is loose. It doesn't happen all the time when the PTO is engauged but it happens a lot. It is loud enough that my wife hears it when I am mowing the lawn. It seems like it is comming from the pulley cover on the left hand side of the deck. I looked and nothing is loose. The only thing I see that could be the issue is the spring that runs under that cover however it does not seem to be loose. The noise is anoying and sounds like something is wrong. It does not make it when the mower is not moving so I am not sure if taking it to the dealer would help at this point. Any thoughts?
The other issue I am having is there seems to be a lot of blow through coming from the front of the deck. I checked the level and from what I can tell the tilt on the right hand side (discharge side) is off. It is 1/4 in. lower then the front. The left hand side is even front to back. Other then the blow through the cut is very even and I am very happy with the looks of the lawn so I am hesitant to adjust the level. Should I be concerned contuning to run it like this?
