WD-45 Noise on Turning

After I finished the restoration on my WD-45, I was working at a threshing show and wanted to turn a sharp corner. I turned hard to the left and set the left brake. The tractor turned around sharp like I expected, but as I was turning, I heard a LOUD couple of clunk-clunks coming form the right wheel. I let up on the brake as soon as I heard this, and the noise stopped.

I'm now afraid that I did some damage to the final drive gears. After this incident, the tractor didn't show any signs of problem or noise while working and pulling.

I won't be able to do anything now until spring. When it warms up, I plan to pull the right wheel off and drop the cover on the final drive.

Do you guys think I might have knocked a tooth off or something like that? I sure hope not. My wife will kill me if I have to stick more miney into that tractor!

Wow! That's a relief to hear that. I do remember that when I installed the wheels, the stop blocks for the power-adjust rims weren't tight against the cam blocks. It makes sense that that's the noise I heard.

Thanks for the input!

I doubt if you did any damage to anything like gears or bearings. These are tough. It takes a LOT of abuse to damage these parts. If you were just using the tractor normally and not slamming the clutch out at wide open throttle and trying to turn too (even that probably wouldn't do any damage) you probably have a somewhat loose rim to wheel. I was pulling last summer at a fair and hooked up to the sled, cement blocks, stone boat, 5' chain, and it was my next to the last pull, the sled was heavy. Anyway I put it in second and got going, got the throttle open wdide and was cruising, began to hear some knocks and clunks form the left wheel, but kept going. Later it turns out I had only put one of the locks on the power shift rail, and it was on the wrong side for forward power transfer. The wheel had slipped a couple of inches around the rim. Just the friction of the cams was holding, or almost holding. It was a 150' pull, and the next block I only pulled a few feet, but I beat all other 12 or 14 tractors in the 3500# class. Bet something like this is your problem, as the others have said.

You might want to check everything associated with the power adjust wheel before you tear into the final drive. Might be something loose on the rim that caused the noise.

I agree with John, check the PAW, you probably put enough extra load on the cams to make them slip and/or pop.
