Found some bad news on my SMTA this evening, I was draining all of the oil out of the rear end when I found bearing pieces in the bottom of the case. No pieces were found in the TA, tranny or PTO drains. Pieces were from a ball bearing with approximately 1/2 inch balls. Also found a lot of cage pieces. Rear end sounded quiet when I was driving it around. I have not used the tractor to know if that changed when loaded hard. I looked at the tranny through the belt pully gearbox opening last week and thought that every thing looked good, tight shafts and good gears. What is the most likely source of the parts and is there away to diagnose short of pulling the top deck off? Thanks, Mike S.
