B2650 rattles loudly when PTO is engaged at lowest RPM. The noise is rhythmic and seems to come from the rear end. Rattle lessons as engine speed is increased. Disappears as 2500 RPM is approached. Here is the story, I tried to engage the PTO this morning to make sure that it worked. First problem was that the PTO selector seemed to be frozen. Patience, and spray silicone solved that problem, so on to the remaining problem (the rattle) . I don't use the MMM (stored in the barn) and I haven't ordered the rear mower yet. So ................I don't know what would happen if there was an implement attached, but the rattle was not what I wanted to hear!
