5035 front end squealing at way faster rate than tires....

[JerryK]

Been making new roads out back in the woods... My 5035 @ 451 hours started making squealing noises once and awhile while I was out pushing over trees, rip'n and tear'n, and generally mistreating my tractor.... Did not see any fluids leaking or wheel wobbling... took it back to the barn thinking all kinds of nasty thoughts. Checked the fluids, and they were good. Turned out to be the idiot low life operator drove over something [ actually many somethings ] and bent the front drive shaft shield so it touched the shaft once and awhile.... Restored it to it's proper place with a wooden handle.... Now thinking happy thoughts....

My 4110 did that, it was low on gear oil in the front axle due to a leak in the axle cap on one side.

That was my first thought.... I have a front end that might have a tire/axle assembly falling off.... I have something coming loose within the front end and getting end play in the axle shaft/some gear.. My tractor is falling apart and I am going to have to tear into it/or send it in for a LONG TIME... every squeak squeak squeak as the tire started to rotate created chills up my spine [ I mean, the spine of the idiot operator... ]... But, LIFE IS GOOD....!!!!!

I've had the same thing happen multiple times. Tightened the crap out of the bolts after straightening the shield. No issues thus far

You might want to think about sacking the operator!
