230 vibrating driveshaft

Posted by Randy Laskody on December 21, 2004 at 15:03:38 from (67.140.0.68):

Hello and happy holidays!

I have been rebuilding a farmall 230 I got from my neighbor last fall. I got everything fixed and in good working order except this internal vibration and some heavy corrosion on the rear rims from leaking calcium. I got it to stop leaking however.

Whenever I use the clutch The vibration (quite loud shuddering sound) is the worst. I looked in the view hole in the bottom of the clutch housing and took a prybar and can wiggle the end of the drive shaft quite a bit where it connects to the engine. When the tractor is not moving but running I can hear the drive shaft rattle a little. When driving I can still hear the rattle, although It drives with no problems. Other than the rattle noise.

I only going to use this tractor for driveway matinance and snow removal at my home.

I am really not in to spliting the tractor, although I could do so with no problems in my workshop.

Any ideas as to what this is and availiblity of parts, and the consequences of not fixing it?

Thanks for any help.

Randy
