I have a 5740C with about 300 hours on it. 90% of its use is with a brush hog or with a 3 pt sprayer.
Today all of a sudden it started making this bad rattling sound that sounds like a bearing is going out or something, but it only happens in certain situations. It DOES NOT make the noise if it is out of gear, regardless of engine RPM. It also DOES NOT make the noise if it is in gear but the clutch pedal is pressed down, regardless of RPM. It only makes the noise if the tractor is moving forward and then only in the higher gears. For example:
LO 1st - No noise
LO 2nd - No Noise
LO 3rd - No noise
LO 4th - Barely can hear it
HI 1st - Can definately hear it
HI 2nd - Definately louder
HI 3rd - Very loud and concerning
HI 4th - Sounds like it is tearing itself apart
I can hear the noise in the cab coming up through the floor. If I open the left door the engine noise drowns it out. If I open the right door I can hear it coming from underneath the right side of the tractor. If it is in a gear that causes the noise the noise increases with RPM's. It makes the noise regardless of whether the PTO is engaged or not.
Any idea what this might be?
