Yeah now that I know what it is and I'm reading what you're saying that's the noise it's a scraping noise it's not that easy to bend that belt guide back away from the pulley I just don't want to break anything with heavier equipment let's say.

I just wanted to give an update on that rattling noise so it turns out the front left belt guide is in close contact with the pulley for the mower deck and that pulley comes off the drive shaft so I don't know if it's supposed to make contact if somehow u-shaped belt guide was bent but that...

So I put the belt back on over the belt guide the one for way up front the drive shaft mower deck pulley and the noise goes away completely while rotating the flywheel. It should be the case where when everything is correctly configured there's a noise when you remove the belt over that guide...

So I tried what you said and nothing changed and so I tried to kind of get on the ground and make a long story short something to do with the drive shaft the pulley + the mower deck belt so I just slightly unhook the belt so to speak + the noise went away so there's something going on and I have...

Hello thank you very much I will try that tomorrow. Jim

I changed my mind it's not a rattling noise it's more like a wild boar but it's real unfortunately.

If you have a list of eight things or 10 things that it could be I have that list already thanks on that but I'm interested in knowing exactly what it is so if you don't know that I already got the general list or even if you can narrow it down to two things that would be fantastic truly Jim

So here's a video I made today so the background story is Friday I started noticing white smoke coming out of the muffler took off the air filter and there was white smoke coming out of that I was thinking it's probably a head gasket so I took off the cylinder head and removed the spark plug and...

"Using JB Weld and Duct tape on a Craftsman. You might be overqualified as a design engineer for Craftsman and Murray.". Forest maybe you picked up on my level of frustration with why I have to even mess with this stuff so I figured duct tape is good enough if it can't fix it why put more...

I did reread this, and the actual frame is blocking it. I often wondered about switching wheel/tire (s) to larger ones? Or maybe keep the wheels and get larger tires? I watched all of the video just now. One thing I did notice even with Cub Cadet is the belt can get an angle ( not the best...

Wait hold up you got what I meant incorrect I didn't mean 5 in I meant setting five it's just a number on the side of the machine it translates into maybe 2 in or 3 in I apologize if that wasn't clear I don't mean 5 in height to cut the grass. This Craftsman LT 2000 has a numerical guide on the...

Thank you so much for your reply here's what I can tell you on setting one I'm cutting 2 in into the dirt . On setting 2 , I'm scraping the topsoil. I On setting three I'm scalping the lawn the tires are filled with the appropriate amount of air and I looked this up several years ago like how...

But one thing I don't know if this can be done but this website they have a poll for deck height in other words on this machine Craftsman lc2000 you have a range from 1 one the lowest setting up to six the highest setting so normally for me anyways I cut the lawn in position 5 + that should be...

I plan on watching all 23 minutes Tomorrow

Forest thank you very much for the video I got through 6 minutes of it the guys like he could have courses on this stuff it's so thorough but it's 23 minutes long I do realize that the the only thing I could do other than you know replacing the deck is to use the JB weld and so far that's worked...
