Hi Folks,
Apologies if this is poor form. I just wanted to get a few more eyeballs on this to see if anyone has input before I make a decision tomorrow.
I'm demoing a CT235 (CK35 in white) this weekend and wonder if this noise is anything to be concerned about. It's a high pitched rattle, like sheetmetal or linkages are rattling, when the motor is running 1500-2500 RPM. The noise goes away completely when I push in the clutch. I made a vid so you could hear the sound, but it doesn't come through as clearly as you can hear it in person (very obvious from the pilot's seat).
YouTube - Bobcat CT235 'Clutch' Noise
It could be clutch linkage, but the sound only goes away after you are an inch or so into the travel. Tractor only has 3rs on it. Hard to pinpoint the source when i look around under there.
Thanks for any input!
Bob
