RZT-S 42 PTO Noise
I have a RZT-S 42 with a SV-715 motor. I got it used in non-running condition and have been going through the whole machine piece by piece fixing what was wrong with it.
I put the deck on it for the first time today. I noticed that the PTO pulley turns rather hard and makes a metal on metal scraping noise when I try to turn it by hand. Thoughts? I did engage the PTO briefly and had quite a bit of vibration. Not sure how much vibration can be expected. It did smooth out some with the throttle opened up. I'm thinking maybe the idler pulley may need some more tension for that issue. Thank you in advance for any help.

The PTO has a brake on it. If you turn it by hand and it turns hard and makes a metal scraping noise, this means the brake is working. It means it is doing it's job, and that is normal.
Any large deck will vibrate at low idle. If it smooths out under high RPM, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
