3015H Grinding noise?

[branson3015]

I have this video of my tractor going on the road in high range. Can you tell if the noise is also on mine?

I didn稚 notice anything but what I would consider normal gear whine there, which mine does also, but I am referring to a different sound immediately upon release of the clutch, and only lasts a couple seconds. Posting the vid gives me the idea to post what I am talking about, if I can figure out how. I am not a computer guru....

You can upload the video to Youtube, set it as Unlisted ( if you want) then just post the link here.

A video would help a lot on trying to understand the exact noise.

It does it maybe worse with less throttle it seems but I still hear it.

My theory would be the clutch disk have glazed over a bit creating some shutter. Many people will clutch and take off at high RPM. This is almost as bad as riding the clutch. Really does shorten their life.

My suggestion is run it as is but make sure to always idle down to clutch. They can run a long time making that noise if one is careful.

K5,

I think we have guys with hydro tractors reporting the same noise?

Or am I getting 2 separate "noise" threads mixed up?

Yes they are reporting the same noise as ptsg. That noise remains a mystery.

The question now is if the known issue with some push rods not being heat treated is a contributing factor. Because of the limited number, it is most likely not the cause.

My noise definitely is clutch related as I only hear it with the petal down. It is from the metallic clutch disk rattling. I can limit my low end pedal travel and not hear anything.

I still don't think any of these are overly concerning but certainly I would like to know what the source is.

Edit: Sorry Slim, I guess I was tired last night. The OP of this thread has a manual transmission not the HTS. What he is experiencing is not brand related in my opinion. If I understand what he is describing, it sounds like clutch shutter to me.
