I've had this mower for 5 years and has worked great. No idea what year it is. Model # is 24762A, the "Date" numbers are 1357. No idea what that means. It's an 18 hp, hydrostatic automatic drive w/46" width.
Anyway, when starting up this spring, it stated making a noisy vibration under it. The whole mower vibrates. When I push the peddle to release the drive, it stops. Seems to be coming from middle to rear underneath. I checked the oil for the rear drive and it looked fine. Kind of hard to get it up enough to get a good look under there. Any idea what could be causing this? Worn belt maybe? Hate to start throwing parts at it.
