Strange Popping Noise - Not What I Expected

[@RossOnTheLand]

Nice to check things. When I heard noises it was my 3pt link coming loose. I'm going to check my steering cylinder later today. Thanks.

[@HuserHelpers]

Yeah, these are common to get loose. I wish they had shims that could be installed, but you just have to replace the plates.

Great maintenance going through and checking everything. It is always a concern when you get an odd noise

[@HuserHelpers]

For sure. Especially when you make a change like wheel spacers.

Nice job logically ruling out potential issues...good luck finding the culprit Jason! Unrelated...do you think you'll get to meet up with Jon in KY?

[@HuserHelpers]

I'm going to try. I have to look at my schedule. Are you going?

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good day Sir, what is helping a lot is that I have 2 nuts in the back of the back of the wheel support on these nuts holding them together to keep them not turning. Did you look at support arms bolted on the frame holding the FEL ? Keep up your OUTSTANDING maintenance Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

[@HuserHelpers]

Yes, I've inspected the loader post on the tractor. My guess is it is the steering or just the loader popping in the saddles.

Did you check the front axle pivot? There is an adjustment for that and mine needed tightening at 400 hour maintenance..

[@HuserHelpers]

I did not. It it for forward and back play? What's a good way to check it? Lift the tractor with the loader and pull on it?

[@orangetubeobservatorywisco2219]

@@HuserHelpers Its in the maintenance section of the owners manual. You have to jack it up to unload the axle and then pull the cotter pin out and adjust nut tigher if necessary. I do not remember the exact specs but its easy to look up.
