Tractor starts to vibrate when blades are engaged

[Justinlind]

My GTX 2000 tractor with a 54" stamped deck started to vibrate the other day while cutting. Grass is cut every week so not grass length. Removed deck and blades are tight. Checked all pulleys and all are tight except PTO idle assembly. It has some slop, I feel. Is there anyone who has had to change this due to vibration? I am refering to Item 4 as the PTO assemble and item 53 where the play is. Any advice is appreciated.

First I don't think a grease zerk is going to cause a vibration. Check the blade balance and codition is always something to check. Air lifts can break off. Check all the bearings including the ones in item 67 and the spindles. Check belt condition. And yes items 4 and 23 can cause problems but they are usually the throwing of belts.
