JD L Clutch/Transmission noise

I'm looking at possibly purchasing a JD L, and the owner mentioned that there is a 'throwout bearing' type of noise occurring when the clutch is out. However, he's been told by others that this tractor does not have a throwout bearing, so I'm just trying to verify one way or the other. And if it doesn't have a throwout, any ideas on what else the noise could be? I've never been inside one of these, and would prefer not to get in over my head. One additional note to this is it doesn't make any noise when the clutch is in. Thanks.

When my dad got our L, there was a loud roaring noise whenever the clutch was out. To fix this I replaced all of the bearings in the tranny because they were all pitted. I did all of the work with some supervision by my dad when I was 14 (2 yrs ago). These trannies are pretty easy to work on so you shouldn't get in over your head.

You won't get over your head with an "L"; they are easy to work on. These tractors do have a "throw out" bearing; I replaced mine from JD for $15.00 but if there is no noise with the clutch in I doubt that is your problem.

If you can, check for clutch pedal free play, should be about 1/2". If there is free play the throw out bearing will not be in contact with the pressure plate and would not be the source of the noise.

If you do replace it your going to want to replace all the seals as well, mine were the original leather seals. I also replaced the flexible cushions (about $50.00 each) as JDMAN suggested. I believe JDMAN is on the right track as to the source of the noise.

The noise could also be bad bearings in the belt pulley, if so equipped.

Good Luck!

Despite what you were told, the L and LA series all have throw out bearings. A likely source of the noise with the engine running while the tractor is in neutral is the front bearing in the transmission.

When I got my LA I replaced bearings by the carload in the final drives and tranmission. In particular, it sounds like you need the bearings that support the Drive shaft that goes from the engine to the transmission. That shaft also has flexible cushions on both the front and rear, and make sure these are good. E-mail me if you need more info. Russ
