Hi My 320 is making while running whether PTO is engaged or not a constant sound like scrapping.
I am thinking PTO went south,any ideas

Look closely at idler pulleys & belts, may be bearing in deck idler pulley.

If you have the noise with the blade off AND on it's probably not the clutch there. If it makes the noise with the drive brake/clutch pedal down, probably not the idlers under there. I'd look close for a stick or something jammed up under there. Maybe you can hear the noise more around the top of the engine? Could be something around the flywheel rubbing?
