15 year old mower and still has same belts, pulleys, deck spindles, etc.
If this is the only mower you have and grass is growing while you are working on the old rig you might want to think about limping it until mowing season is over. It will at least need all belts replaced and YOU WILL FIND OTHER THINGS THAT need attention.
You might even find you need $$$ ($) to find a replacement mower or a hay baler.
More attention can be given to re-furbishing a OLD mowing rig when it's not really needed and the weather is cooler.

No I actually have another machine it's a Yard machine is the hydrostatic transmission but there's no reason why this one the celty 2000 can't get back the way it was lt2000 so I've been using the Yard machine cut the lawn and as it turns out the grass around here is brown every place so you're basically cutting dirt but I just really would like to get this back and it wasn't tip top shape as far as I'm turnedJust something to think about: (food for thought $ wise also_

So a few days ago and I'm getting around to this now for a post I engaged the blades and I saw Sparks coming from underneath the mower deck so I don't remember that being a problem but now it is a problem so the blade one of them is hitting the mower deck I don't know what's going on with it it wasn't happening before but I guess take the mower deck off again spin the blades and see what's hitting what maybe the deck is bent I'm not sure what's going on.

It happens. Murphy has woke up.
You say grass is brown and dirty in your area. Must not be close to Oklahoma.
If the grass is brown you need to watch that sparking deck and not start a forest fire.

I am thinking about what you're saying and that is true I'm in Connecticut and maybe maybe we are elevated fire danger level I'm not sure but it happens every year certain areas of the yard that are exposed to direct sunlight turn brown it happens with numerous lawns unless people are spending couple hundred dollars a day to keep their lawn watered but I'm now trying to make sure that the Sparks are flying from underneath the deck and not the deck pulleys for example but this will be done later today when it's a lot cooler out.It happens.

Who's Murphy?
I got you. The only thing I could think of that I did is I adjusted the The mechanism on the left side of the mower that controls the height of the deck but I did that couple weeks ago.You asked:

So I try to make a video of the Sparks flying and I'm pretty sure they're coming from the front of the mower deck below it that is but no luck however I've been trying to get some audio of this ringing noise that is pretty much constant when I'm cutting the grass I just wonder if anybody could identify with this ringing noise is?
Thank you very much,

I just replaced idler pulley and it's the larger of the two so it has that carriage bolt and then from there you have that belt guide and then on top of that you put that idler pulley and then on top of that you put a washer and then on top of that you tighten it down with the nut.
I don't have a video for this but once you tighten it down you can take the pulley and just wobble it in any direction + the belt guide you can slide it back and forth.
So the question is is this the way it's supposed to mount wobbly pulley and a belt guide that slides back and forth.
