    John Deere lx280 noise
    My tractor engine runs great, the mower drives great and the blades engage great... but as soon as I lower the mowing deck with the foot pedal, a loud ringing sound starts to come out, but as soon as I raise the deck back up, or as soon as I hit the brake pedal it stops. I'm very confused, especially to why the brake pedal would also stop this. If I disconnect the mowing deck this sound never happens or if I leave it up all the way and run it. Even if I lower it a half inch it happens, and the more throttle I give it the louder it goes.

    Can anyone please explain this to me

    thanks

    Could be a loose brake on the spindle assemblies.

John Deere L110 [ 2 Answers ]

A stick broke two of the plastic fan blades on the fan that sits on top of the trans axle. The grand kids were using the mower for a dune buggy. Anyhow I think its called a trans axle this is causing the belt that rides on the fan pulley, to vibrate quite bad. I want to replace the fan. Any advise...
