Default Elec PTO noise

I have a 1650 that I only mowed with well this year its time to hook up my snowblade. I took off the deck,mule drive and belt. Installed blade, this was the first time I ever took off deck and mule drive. when I started the tractor and turned it off I heard a noise coming from the pto I never heard before it sounded like the bearing was free spinning and making the noise. my question is,is this normal

Yes this is normal. Since there is no drag on the Pto pulley with no belt, it will continue to spin when you turn the engine off and sound like a turbo winding down

No, no.... this is not normal. There is a brake on the PTO that should keep if from spinning when it's off. Sounds like the brake is too loose. It is the 4 nuts that hold the square piece on the PTO. Just snug them up a bit. They should be tight enough to keep it from spinning, but not so tight that they engage the PTO. If it doesn't quit, you may indeed have a bearing going out.

Well I went out to the barn and saw the 4 nuts started just tightening them down and noticed there are springs behind them,glad I only tightened one took it back out and tried to tighten them evenly. Seems no more noise.Is it critical to have the nuts exactly even

It's ideal. I'm not sure "critical" is the right word. "Ideal" is better word. I just try and either count the revolutions or measure the distance.

Jon doesn't need sleep, he's powered by nicotine and caffeine.

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.
