Rear Transmission Whine

Post by relick »

Hello Brainstrust,

Hope u are all well and feeling knowledgeable!!

Recently I removed the PTO extension shaft in order to replace the seal. Now it is all back together, lovely, no more leaks, BUT, I have developed a pronounced whine from the rear transmission. It was noticable before but now it is quite bad. 40 litres of oil went in (the right stuff) so I am wondering whats going on.

It seems to be mainly from the LH side, and only when the transmission is under load, coasting down a slight hill, nothing, as soon as it starts to pull, whiiiiine.

Any thoughts. :?:

Relick,

Any change in the sound with PTO engage or not.
Kind regards, Henk

G'day Henk,

I wont be able to get to it for 4 or 5 days but I will let you know. Since the seal was done on the shaft I have only engaged the PTO to lift the slasher, it has not done any work so has not been engaged whilst I am moving.

Regards Russell.
