Quick Question: I have a great little Farmall Cub. Had been running beautifully. Suddenly this winter it developed a loud screeching noise. I can't find the cause (not the fan housing -- checked that). Metallic screech -- seems to bog down the engine too. Any ideas what that could be?

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

Have you done a compression test? Id do that as well as check the valve train. If you can rule out the engine then it may be in the clutch. Is it doing it just sitting or when in motion?

[@paulkelly1256]

@@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335 Does it while idling. My hunch is engine. I do think my compression is really low, why would that lead to screeching? Also, if it is the valve train -- what are we talking? Again why would they screetch?

[@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335]

@paulkelly1256 If you have a broken ring , broken valve spring or bad valve guide that would be the engine culprit. Did you check the generator to make sure a bearing isnt dry and in the midst of seizing up? Could pull the belt to see if it spins freely. Thats all that could really cause a screeching sound. The hydraulics could cause a bog but not really a screech.

@@bourbonbeertractorsandprep9335 OK, that is very helpful. I am going to dig into broken ring and broken valve spring/valve guide. Thank you again.
