This is with one of my G5200's.
After putting the mower deck on and engaging the PTO, it makes one heck of a rattling/ bearing noise. Almost sounds like something is hitting. With everything off, I turned the blades and can't find a thing. The only thing I have to go by is that the mower worked fine last fall (on a different G) and the tractor didn't make any noise with the PTO engaged before installing the mower. Granted, this would have been without a load.
I've replaced a u joint and splined yoke on the gearbox side, the deck belt, gearbox oil, and deck tensioner pulley bearings. Everything is greased and seems tight with no play. *The deck is clean with no packed grass on the bottom by the way.
