I have a Ford 3930 that will occasionally make a grinding noise in neutral with the clutch engaged (pedal out). It doesn't make this sound every time, maybe once every 5 times I lift the clutch pedal. It doesn't seem to make the sound when in gear or with the clutch disengaged (pedal depressed), only when idling in neutral with clutch pedal lifted. Also, If it's making a sound I can apply a bit of throttle and it will stop.
This seems to me like the input shaft bearing is starting to go out. I'd like to get some opinions on this before I put in the work to split the tractor. Thanks!
Forgot to mention, this is a 8F2R "crash box" style transmission.
