Clutch Noise???

[jake98]

I may be out of line here, but if I had a tractor with 56 hrs on it that still made the squealling noise after doing what you have done I would do more than write an e-mail. I would be jumping up and down and letting them know it was unacceptable. In the showroom if necessary.

Yeah, but as soon as he does that the noise will stop.

Do you all think that changing from the original 80W API GL-4 oil to Traveler Premium UTF could cause the squealing?

With out a doubt the gear sounds will change with the lighter wt oil.
What you hear is probably just the gear mesh.
Are you sure you are hearing a squeal and not a whine?

Sounds like a belt slipping and squealing upon engagment of the clutch... just as gears begin to move the tractor.

With that said there is a noticable low howl that I don't remember before. More of vibration. I can get it to almost stop by sitting on the fender.

With the tractor idleing in neutral do you have the noise?
With the tractor idleing in neutral do you have the noise when you
push and release the clutch?
Is the noise only when you put it in gear and let the clutch out?

Only when in gear.... does not do it neutral. It's worse in higher gears when you have to rev higher and let off a little slower.

If its not making the noise in neutral when you press and release the
clutch then it isn't the throwout bearing.
I'm pretty sure you don't have a belt slipping in the trans.
Your hyd pump will only pump X amount of oil no matter how many
remotes are added.
The only thing changed in the trans was the oil.
Lighter oil will increase noise and vibration due to less dampening.
Its good that you documented the problem in case something develops in the future.
A lot of dealers go brain dead as soon as you say " dont you remember?"
Their answer is " naw I dont remember that"
Your trans was built with clearances for gear oil lubrication and UDT is a
whole lot thinner.
Thats my opinion.
Good luck

Hmm, so you think I should try some of the Mahindra oil, same stuff that was in it and see if it goes away?

 

[Glen Watkins]

Still under warranty you should go by the manual but I would use factory branded oil so your covered!

 

[Just Bill]

No I wouldn't do that.
I think its something you will have to live with.
Kubota says UDT for my tractor and the trans is by no means quiet
as a matter of fact its noisy.
Dealer shop said it was normal, I asked while it was in the shop.
We started a new one and it made noise also.

Well, I will wait and see what the dealer says on Tuesday. I'll post an update.
