B2920 HST Creaking Sound

[e171fish]

The transmission on my new B2920 is starting to worry me a little bit. It's making a loud creaking type noise when going up slight inclines or working with the box blade. It's in low range, 4wd, with the BB and FEL attached at around 2700 rpm. It's not being worked hard at all.

I'm familiar with HST whine from my BX2360. This doesn't appear to be the typical HST whine.

I have an audio file but I guess it can't be uploaded to the forum.

Any guesses? Normal?

On a positive note I just installed a Tuff Top Canopy and the Kubota Quick Attach. Pretty happy with the results.

Tighten the wheels and hubs

Can you post it up to youtube and then post a link?

If the creaking sound is still there after tightening your wheels and hubs, try removing your FEL and go up the same incline and see if you still hear it. I've had a weird creak sound in the past and it ended up coming from the left side of the FEL where it mates up with the tractor.

If it is creaking metal noise...

1, Lug nuts
2. If it has the same adjustable axle the 7510 /7610 has tighten up on the inside of the axle.

I thought I had broken gears- on my 7510- Panic stricken..

I posted here and the folks saved my bacon !!!!

Good Luck.

I checked your Youtube . That sound is high rev contact , don't
you think ? Get the Dealer out .....

Yeah, that is some kind of contact. You've not been able to locate it? Sometimes those things can be difficult because the sound gets transmitted through other things, as a distraction.
