2305 MMM making bad sound....

First time posting ...LONG time reader!

I have a 2305 with a MMM and just started using it today for mowing (new construction and new sod), but have had the tractor for about a year and a half now.

What is happening is the MMM is making a vibration and noise when i go around certain turns or put it in reverse. I can not see where the blade is rubbing on the frame of the deck, or where the belts and pulleys are causing any damage. I did take off the covers for the pulleys and wash all rocks and dirt out of here. I mowed for about an hour and nothing i can find is rubbing.....is it ust out of line and the belts are causing the vibration? It also sounded real bad when i hit the brake (it was almost like something that touches the brake pedal linkage may be in the way of the belts...

Thanks for your help!

Welcome to TBN!

Maybe a blade is bent?

When i had my 2305, it made the same kinda sounds on steep hills (going sideways). In my case, it was the pulley rubbing against the lift arm. I never found a way to solve my problem but it went away when I upgraded to the 2520

TAKE IT TO THE DEALER!!!!! mine was the mid pto shaft hitting the brake lever pivot...updated kit for the problem. have them call d-tac at deere if they are clueless. make sure your deck height is adjusted properly also lead to same concern(never adjusted RIGHT from day 1!!)
