Hello All,
I bought a gravely HD52 (Model 991164) a couple weeks ago and am having the problem with the deck vibrating/rattling. I have taken it now to two different dealers and both consider this "normal". I've seen some people saying the springs are hitting the guards however I had the guards removed last night trying to figure out whats going on and its still making the noise. It seems as the spring/idle pulley on the tension arm are moving way too much. It also seems like there is excessive belt whip coming to and from the crank pulley. The belt also seems to get quite hot in such a short period of time. Just curious if anyone found a cure? I really enjoy this mower it would just be nice to make the noise go away!
