Ed Fox 20 #1 Posted May 11, 2020 Hello. I have a 312-8 with a 12hp Kohler. I have a rattling noise coming from the screen/flywheel area. I bought the tractor two years ago and it existed then, last year I had an issue that some of you helped me through which required me removing the shroud and screen from the fly wheel. When I had it off nothing was loose, I reassembled it and the noise is still there. Just sounds as if the screen covering the flywheel is loose but it isnt. Any ideas? Just short of 700hrs on it. Thanks Ed 20200510_175903_1.mp4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Fox 20 #3 Posted May 11, 2020 Thanks Moe, I'm going to pull the shroud and screen again and run it with out. See if can pin point it. I'll post back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
