I have a 1951 WD. I know for my year it has "straight gears" so it will whine more than others. My problem is it whines quite a bit, and gets worse, when under load or going up an incline. The noise sounds like it is coming from the final drive gears just behind the wheels. The oil in the final drive is full. What could be the problem. I want to repair it, but I don't want to go in and just start replacing things. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Mike

Could be rear axle bearings. I have a similar noise on my 1949 WF- just replaced axle bearings and am doing reassembly, painting, etc. Will know before the week is out if that was the source. Old bearings were still in the cage, but I detected slop compared to new, although I'm not totally convinced yet. WD tractors do whine, especially in third gear, but with their age, the axle bearings could be going bad. Not a whole lot of fun working underneath them to get the snap rings and axle shafts out. Broke one on my reversed loader tractor.

I remember from years back, if you had a wheel bearing on a car that was noisy, we just tightened them up. Wasn't expected to be a permanent fix but it did help. Don't know if that might apply to something as slow turning as an Allis final drive.

I'd always thought the howl on my WD came from the pinion and bull gear rather than the bearings. Never fixed a howl so can't really say.
