Yep, she's all gotta come off. May as well do the belt, idler & tensioner pulley while you're at it.

Having said that, I've never heard of an FTO pump making those sorts of noises...
What about a alternator bearing?
Possibly.

Do you know how to go round the motor with a big screw driver in your ear to isolate where the noise is coming from?

To be honest, its probably just an idler pulley in the belt arrangement somewhere.

Still not that clear. I can really hear it when it drops down the revs (after I go up to 4k). Also has a little kinda whining noise to it too.

It could be the idler bearings but after seeing your 2nd vid i noticed the volt

meter was on 12.2v.From memory it should be around 13.7-14v so maybe its

the bearings in the alternator.(correct me if i am wrong)
