Good morning aagitch and Wild Bill and thanks for your input. The noise seem like it is coming from the front and top side of engine. I was thinking it might be in area around the governor. I'm not using mower deck right now, so I could remove the PTO and see if that might be the problem. I will remove the sheet metal and check head gaskets to see if they might be leaking. One other thing I've noticed is engine is not real response to the throttle. Was wondering if I might have a problem with the governor. Couple times when I was moving some dirt, with the blade, the engine RPM increased and I never touched the throttle. Is it possible I have a fuel problem? Could the fuel pump make the squeaking noise?
