1972 MF 165 diesel
No multipower
6 speed total HI and LO
Tractor seems to lift 6' bush hog and finish mower OK.
Went to lift 6' heavy duty grader blade. It seems to lift it... maybe some chatter when it gets to top of lift. But when I disengage the clutch... there is a loud knocking seeming to be coming from tranny area, by gear shifters. Pretty rapid loud knock.
The story beforehand.... had the tractor for a month. Just been bushhogging. I used a boompole to lift grader blade off my trailer. It did lift it... but chattered. Then all of a sudden it dropped it... wouldn't lift it again. Hydraulic fluid looked good on dipstick reading.... not milky, just a few bubbles on dipstick. Someone told me to add hydraulic fluid any way. So I added 2 gallons. The boompole did try to lift then. So I unhooked it... and started mowing again. I hooked grader blade up tonight. It is now lifting the blade fully, maybe some chattering at top. But when its fully lifted in transport position... it starts knocking loud when you disengage clutch.
Any ideas?
Any problem with it being overfilled of fluid?
Before all of this happen.... I do believe I was hearing the knocking... but not as loud... while transporting the Bush hog. But seems to be really loud the heavier the transport load is.
