953 nut

:confusion-confused:               Could be a weak spring, idler pulley on its last legs or an old belt that is in need of replacement.  Good luck!

You will get a knocking sound if a piece of the inside of the belt is missing.

Hopefully not the wrong blades, too long and hitting!  That would be real bad.  They could be badly out of balance also.

 

Remove the belt to give the spindle bearings the 'wiggle test'.  Sometimes the tension of the belt can mask worn bearings.  They should all (including the idler) turn smoothly and be silent.  If you feel any roughness or noise when turning by hand, time for some bearing replacements.

2 bearings [one] on each end

 

Is the shaft loose and wobbly?  Does it turn smoothly or is it 'gritty' and 'crunchy' when you turn it?

 

Most likely 2 bearings, but Cat man, ya got me on that one.  I'm not familiar with the older style decks.

 

Suggest you go to the manuals section of the forum and download the illustrated parts list for your deck so you can see what's in there.

That is a one piece assembly, I have them in stock if you need some.

A bad belt can make some bad vibrations and nasty noises.

 

I thought my whole deck was about to come apart before I changed mine on the 312.
