My 2910HSD has 180 hours on it. I spent all day blowing 14” of snow on Saturday using my 5’, rear mounted, Meteor blower. I had to clear ¼ mile of gravel road and all around my house and barn. I only picked up one grapefruit size rock to break a shear pin. Everything worked perfectly.
But……. Sunday, I went out to putter around and I noticed 2 noises. The first came when I engaged the blower. It sounded like someone wrapping on metal with a wrench. The sound came from the area below the clutch pedal. It would stop and if I increased the RPMs it would clank again a couple of times then stop. All the while the blower ran fine. When I pushed in the clutch it stopped but the clutch made a kind of clink sound the PTO disengaged. ( I think it always did that.) After a while that noise from the engaged PTO went away.
The second noise came while backing up. It sounded like the chain hitting the frame about once per tire revolution, like a tap from a screwdriver on metal. I checked the chains and they were in the clear all the way around. The noise came from the area below the cruise control lever. That noise didn’t go away.
I checked all the fluids and had just finished lubing the FEL and tractor.
Anyone had these types of noises?
