    murray scotts 16 hp 42589x8 automatic noise
    I have a 1999 16hp Murry /Scott's lawn mower. It's an automatic with cruse control, Model # 42589x8. When I push the peddle forward it chatters bad, not so bad in reverse. Tractor does move froward and backwards, but slowly. Tractor came from a friend. My old tractor bought the farm last week. I need help in trouble shooting this problem. Jim

    Hi,
    Here is a link to the parts breakdown and refer to page17 to see the drive belt and idlers. My guess would be a seized idler. See:
