Hey everyone, I am new to the forum and I have a question regarding my HRB216 mower. I have owned the mower for 10 years already and it has been great. No issues at all, just regular maintenance.
The last time I went to mow the lawn I noticed a "grinding" noise when the mower is started but the blade is not engaged. It only makes the sound when its idling, as soon as I engage the blade the sound goes away. When I release the blade control the "grinding" sound comes back slowly. I checked the blade clutch and it seems to be working correctly.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the sound? Is it possible the blade clutch is still the culprit even though it still mows just fine?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
