It is the silly season at this time.

As BB said, this is a problem solving and elimination procedure.
The first thing to do is make sure you have a 'contact' set as
per the manufacturer's instructions.

When I listened to your video, it sounded as though the reel
was way clear of the bottom blade. In my experience, excessive non-
contact will produce a harsh primary clutch engagement sound.

It would also be helpful if BB had a close-up photo of the reel
and bottom blade (taken from underneath the front roller), to
assess the condition of the blades.

Hope this helps.

Ill get a picture this afternoon. I thought the bottom blade and reel weren't suppose to touch. Just miss each other?

How would the blade and the reel not touching cause such a loud noise?
