Hi:
I have an MTD riding lawn mower, 18hp, 42" cut, 7 speed.
1. When the mower starts - No problem.
2. When I engage the blades with the mower in a fixed position,
Brake on, neutral position; No problem.
3. When I start riding the mower in the forward position, with any speed
Setting, I hear a screeching sound, like metal striking metal.
It’s not continual. It comes and goes, but, for the most part it's there.
4. When I ride the mower in reverse, no screeching sound is heard.
Thanks for any help/info. - Nad -
