Noisy engine

[okielsman]

I have a LS G3038 2wd. Owned it a bit less than a year. Use it to pull a 5ft finish mower. Mow 3 acres. A couple days ago while mowing the engine seemed to get a little bit more noisy. And the tractor seemed to have a bit more vibration. It has 29 hours on it. All fluids check ok. Oil looks very clean. Runs fine, no missing or stumbling or anything of that nature. Fresh fuel but it looks very clear, it's road diesel. Am wondering if it might be fuel related. Also am considering changing oil and filter. I am not a novice, have farm equipment for years, grew up on a farm etc. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Have you checked the air cleaner and the screen infront of the radiator?

Try checking your muffler it may be loose or cracked.

Muffler looks ok to me. Don't see anything unusual.
