Loud Slapping Sound When Starting Gtx 1054

Replaced bad solenoid and started tractor. Let the tractor run a while than engaged the pto and ran the mower deck. Everything appeared to work fine. Stopped engine and restarted heard a loud slapping noise coming from rear of the engine or pto area. Checked starter to see if it was lose. Nothing appeared to be lose. Going to remove mower deck for yearly maintenance. I will check the pto area to determine if the noise is coming from that area. Has anyone ran in to this type of issue with a gtx 1054. The noise appears loud enough to cause immediate damage

If you hear a rattling sound when you start to drive and it goes away with the speeds, it can possibly be because of a loose or misaligned lug nut inside a hub cap. You may have replaced the wheel or loosened the nut in the recent past and now haven't tightened it properly. The simplest thing you can do is tighten your nuts once again or look for a lug nut that might have gone bad. If you don't find anything suspicious, it's definitely the time to head to a GoMechanic workshop near you.
