Transmission / HydroStat Problem?

Flip221 · May 23, 2006

When pulling my CC2544 out of the garage today, I noticed a "clicking" noise when travelling forward. The click does not happen when going backwards. The sound seems to be coming from the rear right side of the tractor.

Also, I noticed that the tractor rolls forward and backward without having the transmission lever pulled out. You can hear the gears moving when it rolls with or without the lever pulled out.

I have 8 hours on the tractor. Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,

My 2544 wont roll easily, but can be pushed without the bypass engaged. Pulling the bypass doesn't really make it any easier to push. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Never did. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I also had some clicking from the right rear axle seal when I first used it this season. I pulled the wheel, cleaned and rubbed some silicone grease onto the axle seal. Noise is gone. I'm still kinda p'd about the hydro bypass deal. The cheezy lever/spring does actuate the button on the bottom of the hydro, but nothing seems to happen. I should take it in, but it would be tough to take the downtime right now.
