Did the noise sound like its at the rear of the tractor? Hard to say without being there. If it has the seasonal disconnect check that the dogs are not jumping apart. It springs the shift linkage when they do. Also at the oil level check plug at the front of the center housing. You can look through the hole with a light and see the teeth on the lower PTO drive gear. If the upper gear lost teeth you may see signs of damage on the lower one also. Not sure if to much oil would sling to have a helper see if the lower gear stops turning through the hole when the PTO stops. That could mean the PP, shaft splines or upper gear stripped.
Rear unit has plenty of parts to cause a problem also. May remove the engine spark plugs. Place trans in neutral. Engage the pto and by turning the pto shaft with whatever and the engine also, find or listen for the problem location.
Didn't see CharlieU post until after I posted. That's a good idea to look in the clutch compartment for metal cuttings. Shaft is hard to see in there.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
