I have a 3040 with FEL and box blade with 7.5 hours on it so far. I noticed an intermitant chatter noise that seems to be coming from the right front wheel or axle area. I plan to call the dealer but was wondering if anyone might have a clue as to what it might be and is it serious enough to stop using the tractor.

Thanks,

Before you call the dealer, check/torque the wheel bolts.
Could possibly be just a loose wheel causing the noise.
If that isn't it give the dealer a call.

Well, it turns out it was just the metal footplate in front of the clutch pedal rattling against the frame of the tractor. I bent it out some and it is fine now. Glad it wasn't serious.

Thanks
