I had a chance to look at the tractor and the drive shaft has no play. I changed the engine oil/filter, sharped the blades and installed the mower deck. I noticed that the PTO was making some noise when not engaged and no PTO belt on. Turning the PTO on stopped the noise. After installing the deck and belt, the PTO noise went away. Also, the whine I mentioned above would go away when the PTO was turned on.

Would it indicate a bad PTO bearing?

Thought you said it was a tranny whine.
Yes, a bad bearing could make it whine.
