Flywheel had about 1/4 in end play. I tightened it up to .006. Now when it runs it makes a rubbing sound, like a brake is draging. It doesn't do it with the cluch in gear or out, only when it is in gear moving. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem with a 44B. You need to check your clutch drive disk and crankshaft splines for wear. The one I was working on also ended up with significant wear on lefthand main bearing thrust surface. The rubbing noise was actually the drive gear on the belt pulley running against the right main bearing housing. Ihope this helps you out.

Thanks for the reply. I think my problem is in the clutch area. What did you do to fix the problem short of rebuilding everything? Thanks a lot, Wayne

Well we ended up putting new main bearings in it. Granted this is not cheap, but it was the only way to take up the excess end play. The only other thing we did was find a good used drive disk. This seemed to cure the problem. We already had most of the tractor tore down when we found this problem. I guess the most cost effective way would be to try a new or used drive disk first. Make sure the splines on the crankshaft are good enough to accept the drive disk. If the splines are good. Try the drive disk. If problem still exists, the next thing to do is check the mains. Good luck and let me know what you find.
