G-152 (3cyl TX1300 I think)
I was pulling a light lumber trailer from the front of the house back to the barn. Backed the trailer into it's spot at the barn, and dismounted to unhook the trailer. Mounted back up, threw her in gear, and no movement. Just a rubbing / slight grinding noise. The noise slowly stops as I hold the clutch down (like a shaft is slowing to a stop.) I tried Hi and Lo range, and every gear. Nothing but that new and unsettling noise. I'm not sure where to start looking. I don't think it's the clutch, because it would seem that those wear over time, not suddenly. I don't feel anything different when I shift the gears. I am a novice, but I am thinking I need to check two things: First, I hear there is a pin that connects the axle shaft to the wheel, and second there is a "spline boss" connecting the clutch to the transmission input shaft. Anything else I should be looking at, listening to or checking out? your help is much appreciated!
