LA 145 Vibrates bad!

[[email protected]]

My 2012 la 145 has suddenly started to vibrate, weather the blades are not even engaged. Sure would appreciate some advice.

Thanks,
Charlie

Check to see if it vibrates badly with the clutch / brake pedal fully depressed
Yes = engine problem
No = Drive problem

If yes, remover the drive belt & try again
Still vibrates all the time = major engine problem
Only vibrates at start up & shut down = loose mounting bolts.

Drive problems
Lump broken out of belt
Something stuck in a pulley
Broken or cracked pulley
idler pulley bearing broken
Tensioning arm pivot worn excessively .
