MF35 Transmission Noise

My 1958 MF35 makes a clunk or tick roughly once per wheel revolution. The noise has got worse over the last 50 hours of use but is not very loud. It is only apparent at faily high speed on the road. The noise remains coasting in neutral.

Following a previous post and some useful advice (thanks) I took off the LH axle and trumpet housing to examine the bearings and diff..
The diff. pinion thrust washers were beaking up so I assumed this was the problem and replaced them and cleaned out the broken bits. The LH outer axle bearings looked fine the diff axle bearings had some v. light pitting.
The noise has not gone away. There is no play on the axle shafts nor the diff. (I tried rocking it through the PTO shaft hole).

Q1 Am I being a tractor hypochondriac or is there a risk that the bearings will seize when I am 10 miles form home?

Q2 What is the criterion for bearing rejection?

Q3 Could the problem be somwhere else than the rear axle?

Sorry for the long post

An audible grinding or gravely sound is a sign of bad bearings, visually if their showing rust, pitting or discoloration from heat they need to be replaced. I had the same problem in my 35, and I replaced the bearings in the left axle housing, but that just quieted it down enough to hear the right side, which is on my list, but that was 4 years ago. If you keep good lube in her and pay attention, I think you'll be fine. But if you find the time and resources you can pop out the bearings in both side fairly easy, new seals and housing gaskets, and you won't be worrying any more. As for the differential, pay close attention to the condition of the gear teeth (wear patterns).

Good luck
