ZTX5 Issue

[beretta22]

Got a ZTX5 with squeal with blades engaged. You can hear it slow down as rpm’s lower to stop. Can’t tell if it’s idler or spindle. Only has 60 hrs on the mower. Just wondering if there’s an issue with any of these parts that’s prone to failure.

It can be a bearing in either the spindle or the idlers. Just something you have determine yourself as you are the one at the mower.

Now the spindle do have 6206-2RS bearings if the need replacing and one oil seal.

I’ve tried. Best I can tell it’s the right outside spindle. Still has warranty so I’ll probably take it in. Thanks

6206-2RS. Mine has the sealed bearings I think. No grease fitting

Warranty replaced two spindles today. I complained about the loud deck from the start. Guess it progressively got worse.
