The reverse idler isn't loaded except in reverse so I doubt its whining going forward. What could be a problem if I understand your post correct, is if you installed the original front of the reverse idler toward rear of tractor. Gear is not the same on both ends. On ring and pinions that have been used togeather and look okay I try to put them back exactly like they were even if the backlash is a little over what is recomended as the ideal setting. If there to far out thats not possiable sometimes. But after saying that you can't get all these old parts completely quiet all the time no matter how hard you try. It helps to know if the rear was okay before work also. On some I know are good before working on I go as far as marking several places on ring & pinion gears and differential case. Then take exact measurments of distance from diff carrier to pinion and also check backlash with dial indicator before removing parts. If any bearings need changed ring and pinion can be put back to same wear pattern. I will admit on some rears I can't get them quiet no matter how hard I try even if dye pattern is great. If you only have the whine with tractor moving and about the same whine in all forward gears I would suspect the ring and pinion.

If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
