Tilt machine back, remove belt guard and make sure the larger drive pulley nut hasn't loosened (common problem). If it has, apply some Loctite blue 242 threadlocker to the threads before tightening. If that is not the problem, could be bearings in transmission (not serviceable) or dry seals. Here is a bulletin on the dry seal problem. Eric

This seems a little quieter than it was last night during spin. That load could have been heavier as well than todays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...ure=youtube_gdata_player
