While mowing 2019 SD Raptor, I am getting a burnt rubber smell and see smoke, not from the muffler, but under the machine coming out of the grass chute. I have no way of looking while the blades are turning. When I stop the mower and check the belt pulley system, everything looks ok, although there is a very slight movement in the rear middle pulley. The one without the spring on it.The ones that have the blades or spring attached have no play at all. Is the slight play in the rear middle spindle causing the belt to rub and cause the issue. I can't think of anything else causing the smell and the smoke.
