Old Snapper rider Reverse problem!

[Mrblurr]

SO I changed the drive belt yesterday (So time consuming!) and when I started it up this morning to check it out everything seemed fine. The gears 1-5 all worked and the blade engaged and spun. Then I reverse to put it in the garage again...and this evil sound...like a banshee wailing in a metal band appeared. Not sure what the problem is, but it only happens when I put the mower in REVERSE and sometimes I can just barely detect it in neutral.

What could this be and what sound I check?

Note, I'm not a mechanic type and just figure things out as I go, so I may not know exactly what part you are talking about. (Pics would be awesome!)

Please help, I REALLY need to mow tonight.

Ok, I figured it out! When I put it all back together I was missing a couple bolts for the frame in the back by the top of the wheels. Once I aligned the holes and screwed them back in, it worked fine!!!

Downside is...it's only 107 outside (eek!) and I've got 2 hours worth of mowing with little tree cover. Fun!
