as the title says, i have a 5 year old troy built ride on mower. i noticed a mild vubration when cutting grass last year so i changed the blades at the start of this year. while changing the blades i noticd that one was a fair bit harder to turn than the other. i do not recall running over anything. when i engage the deck there is a small squeak and everything goes well. it mows well, but when i hit heavy (city here) 4 to 5 inch grass i still get the vibration. i also just learned about greasing the spindles. thx for any help.

i should also mention that i usually start it on my drive way. i can engage the deck and there is no vibration whatsoever. is it just the grass.

If it has a PTO lever then it has brakes on the spindle pulleys
One of them is worn out or its spring has broken

IT can also be debris wound around the blade
