- Many over the years, + '05 JD-4410 TLB, but quite proud of my big green "Rolls": AKA: 2006 JD-3520 Cab, HST, Tunes & 2-way tiltmeter, Cobra communications and 6" (x2) rear wheel spacers for a lot less pucker-factor!!
Naaah,..don't worry bout it !! Heck all the grinding sounds are just you using one gear AND its teeth,.. to "CHIP" the edges off another gear's teeth. Eventually all your gear teeth will have nicely "bevelled" edges, some round and smooth,.. while some will look as if you smacked 'em sharply with a ball-peen hammer as you watched 'em spinning around! (pretty much the same effect!!)
They prolly look much nicer than those squared teeth the tractor was born with and the belly of the tranny will be nicely packed with an assortment of teeth,..(good ballast), some chunks will be partial teeth and depending on your agresiveness and just how frustrated or angry you were at the time,... there may well be a few "complete" teeth down there?
Question: ...Is it the grinding sound you enjoy,.... or is it the thought of nicely rounded teeth that turns your crank? But like I said,..don't worry about it, (worry never helped anyone). (Although you might wish to worry just a tad,....that a piece of one tooth, doesn't slip twixt a pair of teeth as they mesh nicely together, . . ooooOOH,..OUCH,..Ouch YIKES !!)
On the other hand,.. as you grind and crash and jerk while buzzing around out there, and the old tranny juices get swirling and boiling and splashing around ever so furiously under your feet,...(much like your own adrenalin),..you better worry just a tad that all that swirling juice doesn't start stirring up the bits and chunks down there and fling 'em up into the spinning, meshing gears,.(any more than they already are), . .OH BOY!!! "try" NOT to worry toooo much as it prolly won't do much good! ..OK ? . . . ...ok then.
Just keep in mind,..that you can "think" about the consequences of grinding, and make a serious effort to change your ways, . . . OR,..you can continue to grind and worry, or grind and "not" worry,...OR just say to yourself, OR prolly right out loud is preferable: saying,...AH t'heck with it !..and grind the heck out of those tranny gears,...because when it comes down to your "teeth", or lack of 'em,..... you can just as easily :
. . . .... take the ole girl in to the local "tractor-dentist" and let him go ahead and yank the rest of the bits and pieces and make you up a whole new set !!! (just like deer ole granny!)
While your there, get him to dump out all the bits and pieces of broken teeth from the belly of your tranny and dump 'em directly into your rear ballast box for the added weight!!! There you go,...nothing wasted,.see ?!!
Anyway, that's about all there is to it,...nuthin to get your panties in a knot about, . . . but you might start saving up your pennies for that "dentist".
CHEERS! . . . ...and a very Happy New Year to all you "grinders"!!!.....eh?
