Had the same thing with a customners JD 8440 year and a half ago. Tractor in for a full inspection, same as JD "Green Light". I pulled the suction screen out of the torque divider housing and found a broken 1/2" bolt. Advised customer of the bolt and where it could have come from, for piece of mind he wanted it checked out. After splitting the tractor and disassembling the torque divider I also found parts of a shift fork. Nothing was wrong in the transmission or the torque divider, I replaced a couple of questionable bearings and reassembled the tractor. Oh I also found a 3/8" nut with green paint at the clutch housing suction screen, knew it had to have come from outside the clutch housing so we didn't go into the clutch. We went back to the guy who had sold the tractor at auction and he showed us invoices for last transmission and clutch work done by the local JOHN DEERE DEALERSHIP. He had paid through the nose to have the work done, and they were too darn lazy to to clean the pieces out from the origional problem, and let extra pieces get into the clutch housing (they probably charged him for the extra nut in the clutch housing)! I'd sometimes put more faith in a farmer doing his own fixes. Sorry to be so long winded, but it gets me wound up. Check where those ball bearings may have come from. my 2cents
