I am trying to diagnose a loud noise coming from (at least appears to) the transmission. It seems loudest under the platform but in front of the seat. I know sound travels but it seems lodest there.
I do not know if this noise has been there a long time or not. This tractor has not had a muffler since I've been alive. I just started making some minor repairs in recent years and put an exhaust pipe and muffler and now I can hear this noise.
I use the tractor for plowing and cutharrowing and do not want to run to failure to find it.
If I engage the clutch the sound lessens slightly. Moving it in any gear or engaging the PTO doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any tips on where to start looking would be helpful.
I have a complete shop manual and parts catalog to aid me.
This was my father's tractor he bought in 51. Since his passing I have been tinkering to replace some broken or worn out external parts.
Thanks in advance for any help.
