I am hoping someone can tell me what to look for. I havent ran my tractor since fall and this past week end decided it was time to get my snow plow mounting bracket installed. I have a in hose heater to warm the block up and I let it run for a good 6 hours before I started the tractor. It started right up and ran fine. I drove it about 2 city blocks to my buddies garage as he has a welder. When I got there I left the tractor running and after a few minutes I could hear what sounded like a grinding noise it would only do it every 2 minutes or so. I pulled the inspection cover off the clutch and trnasmission but could not find where the noise is coming from. It didnt seem to do it while I was driving it at least I couldnt hear it. It almost sounded like the PTO shaft was hitting something. I had my rototiller still attached so I ran that a while and it didnt seem to make any noise then. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to check before something serious happens or do I just run it until it breaks.
