Well my 61 year old tractor developed a knock this weekend while I was bush hogging. Sounds like it is coming from the bell housing area under the battery box and not under my seat (which would mean tranny trouble). I don't hear the knock when I move in reverse only when I'm going forward. The knock does not seem to be consistent (rhythmic)...not a fast knocking like the flywheel. It pulls fine, shifts fine.
Guess I'll be splitting the tractor to see for sure what is going on.
Up at the engine, there are six bolts that connect the bell housing. The bell housing section looks to be maybe 3-4 feet long and connects to the rear section with four bolts.
Any advice at this point?
