This a 1953 model 60 row crop tractor. The noise is the same regardless of the gear it is in as long as the clutch is engaged. Advice would be appreciated. [Reply]   [No Email]

After that, ever if the bearing issue is fixed, they will be a bit noisy. My 1937 B has the same problem and I can't find any wear on the gears visually. As F-I-T syas, it's a fairly common problem.

I do believe that I need to replace the low reduction gear even though it looks ok. Any other advice is appreciated. [Reply]  [No Email]

Some even spin and wear the first reduction cover oblong, requiring case machining or replacement. Pretty common in the "A" family. [Reply]  [No Email]
