Sounds like you need a water pump, The bearings in the water pump are making the noise not the pulley.

Why would my car make a grinding noise when i start it and after running for a bit the grinding noise becomes slower?
Don't ignore that kind of sound. Find out what is causing it and replace or repair the faulty part. A "grinding noise" can be caused by an alternator, water pump, idler pulley, heater fan motor, air pump or any of a long list of components, many of which can cause some serious problems if they seize or come apart.
1989 Jeep Chreokee Limited is making a sort of grinding sound from the motor?
Check it is not a grinding noise from a pulley or part like the water pump, idler, tensioner etc. Or suspension like the wheel bearing, axle etc. Make sure where it is first before proceeding. If it is in the engine then something is amiss. It is never good to hear grinding from the engine. I suspect it may be from an extenal source though.
2001 Isuzu LS Rodeo water pump pulley making a winding noise on startup and acceleration you sprayed some WD-40 in the center of the pulley and the noise toned down is the pump going bad?
the water pump is driven by the timing belt so the pulley your talking about is not for the H20 pump but only for the fan

Signs of failing water pump failurein a 318Cu.inch engine?
water pumps don't normally give signs of failing. what happens is the bearings give out. you can take the belt off and spin the pulley, if you hear a grinding noise or it won't turn, you might have a bad pump.
93 Mazda mx6 4cylinder and it makes a grinding noise near the timing belt it died on you and wouldn't restart for awhile then when it did it starting making the grinding noise again what could it be?
I WOULD START WITH THE WATER PUMP. THEY CAN MAKE A GRINDING SOUND AND CAUSE THE CAR TO OVER HEAT PREVENTING IT FROM RESTARTING UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. SOME WATER PUMPS HAVE A WEEP HOLE (USUALLY ON THE BOTTOM). WHEN THE PUMP STARTS TO CRAP OUT COOLANT WILL LEAK THROUGH THE HOLE.
Chevy Trailblazer making a whinning noise?
Probably the idler pulley or the tensioner pulley on the serpentine belt. Carefully use a little squirt bottle and spray each one with a little water. When it gets quiet you know which one to change.

Did you look at the alternator bearings?Take the belt off and spin the alteranator to see if the bearings are bad.
Why is your car making a grinding noise when you just changed your brakes?
Even if you have brand new or good brakes when the pads become hot from braking and then cooled very fast from water then the pads tend to crystalize creating the squeaking noise when you brake you just have to let them squeak it out
Car making noise it's the damper which is located were the belts are air comp cramshaft water pump etc how can you change this damper making noise on a 1992 Buick Park Avenue?
Every accessory that is turned by that belt can make some sort of noise...the alternator and water pump berrings wear out, causing a dull grinding noise. The power stearing pump can make a whirring noise, and the AC compressor makes a rattling noise when the AC system has had no refriderant in it for some time. Very UNLIKELY that its the balencer on the crankshaft causing your trouble

If it is a high pitch noise and the tractor does not start, your battery might be too weak. Check the water level in the battery.
