tic, tic, tic.....bang!

Posted by Murray on July 15, 2004 at 07:15:02 from (68.218.239.77):

I have an International 544 (68) that is making some strange noises. We haven't run the tractor much the past few years but it always cranks right up and runs great. About two weeks ago I was bush hogging a friend of mines property and I hit a stump I didn't see. Well, it appears the clutch on the hog was too tight and it broke the bottom bearing on the blade shaft which made the blades run like a poorly hung ceiling fan.

That however, is not my problem. Since bringing the tractor back to my place, everytime I go into reverse there is a loud ticking noise (I say ticking because I don't know exactly how to describe it). It is coming from the rear end (directly beneath the seat) and sounds like metal hitting metal. The noise increases with speed. Also, it is loud in reverse, but I swear I'm hearing something going forward just real faint.

I'm quite sure the jolt it took from the bushhog caused it, but I have no clue what to do. I would normally take it to the mechanic, but I need this thing working yesterday. Anything you guys could suggest would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks
