321D Weird deck noise

You are going to have to remove the deck and give it a good inspection. There is no way to check for proper spindle condition with the deck mounted. I’m guessing a bad spindle bearing which shows itself during operation. Second, when you have the deck off you can really go through it to see if there is any metal to metal contact.

I think that we’ve given the best advice possible. It’s up to the OP to follow our advice or not.
 
What seems to be the problem of following the answers provided by the techs? They provide suggestions , you find a way to blow them off. Please tell me why, if you really want to solve this problem you are so against removing and giving the deck a good inspection? This is what experienced techs have to do all the time. You have never really checked the spindles, blades, pulleys, deck conditions anywhere, except in your brain. No one can give you a specific answer to your problem, because you have provided us with a stiff drink while listening to what you are hearing. If you must your answer, your way right now, I doubt you will get it here. Don’t wait to long, grass is growing.

It is sometimes the nature of people to get solutions to problems, and then say, “yeah but.”
People are funny.
They will ask a question, you try to answer, then they keep talking. People are funny. They will bring in a mower, etc. and say “I am not sure why it is doing this.” You tell them what you think, and they start second guessing you. People are funny.
 
Well here is an update for all you head scratchers... This ticking sound that was haunting me has just stopped all of the sudden. I was mowing one day and realized it was not making that noise anymore! That has been a few weeks, and a change of blades ago, and it thankfully has not returned. I remain mystified and must assume there was debris somewhere rubbing on something that became dislodged. I am happy and relieved that it is gone and hope it will not return.
