Adjust play in brake linkage rod

Post up a link to your new post here also and we will get a heads up about such.

Also maybe a video of the you are hearing.
Back side of belt scuffed can also be a flat idler not spinning good.
Belt will get hot and a new belt might have a slight chip or belt scream when belt is cold and tone change as belt heats.

Might have to get someone to watch the belt when it operating. STAY SAFE.
See if it's jumping or vibrating. Ringing sound is usually a dry bearing and I've seen lots of NEW spindles now days that new bearings are dry, no grease.
Also let it operate little while and then kill the engine and feel of the belt and see if it's hot. If the belt is not hot it's probably a spindle bearing and most likely a upper one.

Forest thanks for the additional information there's no way in hell any person who's not in the business or does it all the time would ever know any of this I would do this you suggest with more videos also

I will be checking forest's suggestion start a new thread but I am including one more image. I mean the only thing I could think of for new thread is I've had the mower deck away from the riding mower at least a dozen times + I guess the thread will be starting from scratch even though that's not true. Couple things I did notice the last time I slid the mower deck underneath the frame somehow the whole mower deck ended up closer to the rear tires so I had to adjust that rod that attaches to the front of the mower deck never did that before.

I replaced the large pulley I noticed a large pulley has some wobble in it so I tighten it as tight as I could and I removed the wobble and now the wobble is back I don't know if the wobble is supposed to be there.

This belt is only maybe a month old I'm sure if I buy another belt it only takes a few times for it to get all screwed up.

And the reason I believe besides the obvious belt problem but there's something wrong is when you engage the blades there's this constant ringing noise and I can't figure out what is coming from I'm assuming it's the mower deck because that's the only time it appears but who knows.

And when I engage the blades and I have that constant ringing noise I think I'm going to blow another head gasket on the machine it just seems like that's going to be the next thing to happen and then I go back to the engine and replace the head gasket.

In the photo you might notice a very strange belt angle and that's because the mower deck is right on the ground normally it's pretty much horizontal.
