Please help with this squeaking sound!?

[Wally24]

For some odd reason when I engage my blades on my 61" surfer it makes a squeaking noise at first as get going. For instance Squeak----Squeak----Squeak----Squeak--Squeak--Squeak-Squeak-Squeak-Squeak. Starts off slow then speeds up. My dealer said I needed to just tighten my belts so I let them do it and I too have tighted them, but it works shortly then as I am mowing and have to keep engaging them and disengaging them they start squeaking again. Please help me work this kink out.

Thanks,
Wally

Is this one of Great Dane's Unsolved Mysteries???

Wally24,

I am not sure what the cause might be but your dealer should be able to isolate the noise. It could be the belt or it could be the pulley or a bearing. I would take it back to the dealer and let them look into this again. Please let me know what you find.

Thanks,
