Maytag washer makes loud noise during agitation and spin

I checked the belt on the washer. It seemed loose (i pulled it off easily) a bit cracked and shiney but intact.
The front pulley turns freely and the center (drum) pulley spins freely also.
The pulley in the rear (pump?) turns ok but it doesn’t feel like the other ones.
Any suggetstions?

Noises are very difficult to diagnose on a Forum because we are not there to hear the type of noise and determine the location.

Try to operate the machine with the front cover off and see if you can pinpoint the area.

Let us know what you learn.
