I've been noticing that my left motor or pump is squealing when there's some resistance applied to it while turning. It's not a belt squealing. It's more like the sound you get if you open a faucet up slightly and there's a squeal so I assume it's the same thing. Something is not opening up enough and the oil is making the squeal. I checked the oil level and it was fine. Only have about 70 hrs. on it so I haven't changed it yet. I haven't checked the drive belts (going to go over it today)but again it's not them squealing. I'm going to give it a look today and just wondered it anyone has any suggestions of what to check out?

Manuals | Dixie Chopper Is mower still under warranty? If yes do not touch it & take to dealer for repair, possibly a recall. If not under warranty you will need to place rear of mower on jack stands so you can identify where noise is coming from.
