Just got my L2850 back from the dealer after having the transmission fluid changed. When they replaced the filter, they cleaned the magnet and found what appears to be the remains of a snap ring. The mechanic said the fluid looked clear and didn't see any suspended metal particles in it.
I bought the tractor used about 2.5 years ago and don't know it's history. It now has about 600 hours. It is a 4WD with a shuttle shift.
From the time that I bought it, it has had a "rattley" whine that comes from the rearend. It is the loudest when it is cold and going in reverse. Stepping lightly on the clutch while moving makes it go away. I had always assumed the noise was normal and didn't think too much about it but know I have to wonder if the snap ring fragments might be related.
What kind of noise is "normal" from the rear end/ transmission and any hints as to where a snap ring might have come from?
