I have a T2290 that makes noise when you disengage the brake. If you look underneath with the motor running and push down the brake pedal it stops. You can see the belt moving when brake is released. Belt stops when you push down on the brake and the noise goes away. I'm wondering if this is a pully bearing going out. I can't find the warranty for this mower. I have 110 hrs. on the unit.
they use plastic idlers. OFtentimes one of the idlers will seize the bearing and the belt just melts away at the plastic idler. Usual complaint, belt breaks. Put a new belt on, and it is noisy and/or vibrates when the brake is released. Idler almost every time.
have also seen a couple with debris stuck in the drive and/or driven pulley (engine and/or transmission pulley respectively) which will also cause vibration and noise. Don't forget to look closely at those.

Thanks lugbolt for all the info. I kinda figured it was a bearing on one of the pullies. Is there anyone out there that makes an aftermarket metal idler? You would think that since it's a common problem that a company would make them in metal. Since I am unable to find the warranty for this mower, I'll have to call the dealer and see if they will cover it.
I got my mower back, and as expected the 1 bearing inside the pulley was bad. The dealer ordered all 3 pulleys and only replaced one. Kubota would not pay for the other 2. I wish the dealer would have called me to give me the option of paying for the other 2 as long as they had everything torn apart. I would have gladly paid for new ones to be put on.
No sir I did not check it with a temperature gun. I just heard it getting louder when I released the brake and knew it had to be bearing. The dealer replaced p/n K1025-26220.
