Mornin' All, I've ran into this phenomenon on two old tractors now and you've all heard me cryin' and bellyachin' about the noise in the rearend of my 966. Originally, the tractor had developed an o-ring leak, had antifreeze in the oil and the prior owner just parked her in a shed rather than spend the money to fix it. The thing sat there for 6 years before I bought it and "brought it out of retirement". I've never been real happy with that rear end, 'cause you could hear it howlin' over in the next county. When I drove it home that first day, I could feel a speed related vibration in the floorboard too. Anyway, last fall I plowed 10 acres with it, putzed around the place diggin' postholes and then just parked the silly thing for the winter. Wanted to get it in to the shop to have it opened up, but they didn't have time to get to it. Kicker is, yesterday I popped it off, hooked up the plow and went to the field. Strange part is that the noise has drastically subsided; still there somewhat, but pretty much normal to my ear. What the heck is going on? My 686 did the same thing with a low-side T/A howl after I put 'er back to work. With use, the noise cleared up. I just don't get it. 'Spose the ol' gal had some rust on the gears 'er something?
