Since I bought this mower new it’s been a bone rattler while the blades are engaged. I’ve put new blades on and there’s no difference. Recently hit an unseen stone which lodged between the one blade and the deck. The shaking is worse and there are some ugly noises coming from the deck. I’ve removed the deck, checked everything over and made a couple small adjustments to the pulley brakes but I doubt the shaking will improve. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks

Check the bolt lugs on the spindle housing for cracks.
Get down on the left side and watch the deck while some one else engages & disengages the blades .

Check The belt and see if it has burned flat spots on it.
