YAY! I CAN FINALLY HELP SOMEONE!
I have a JD 7' mower, it is a 307 or 407 or something, in any case, very similar to yours. A very good mower overall, they'll cut through about anything. I have run it on both our 300U and 400, and it clanks when turning too sharp. The good news: the problem is NOT in the tractor tranny! The problem spot is the slip-clutch on the mower. On ours, it had slipped a lot, and wore down on the faces of the clutch pack, not the disks, but where everything hooks up.... it is hard to explain. But anyways, the problem can be (sort of) fixed by taking the clutch pack apart on the mower and shimming things up with a washer or two. Mine still makes noise, but less since I shimmed it. And I just don't worry too hard when it makes noise: I figure, If it breaks, it breaks, and there isn't much I can do about it.
Best of luck to all of you with the same problem!
