It ends honestly, noting the deck is quieter but still louder than expected. Best for owners troubleshooting deck noise on this model.
Posted by the Twin Brook Acres channel, an owner sharing a real, unresolved DIY repair on their own tractor.
Drop the new pulley onto the swing arm shaft, add the washer, secure with two retaining clips, attach the spring, then route the belt around the pulley.
Spinning it by hand shows noticeable noise compared to a silent new pulley, though the difference is less obvious until it spins at operating speed.
It made the deck quieter, but the owner says it still seems kind of loud and plans further research and investigation.
