Man, this tractor seems to be one thing after another, its a good thing I like this Tractor when it does work well. I've never seen something like this. I had a sound like a set of gears were slipping and remeshing while the Tractor is running and out of gear(in neutral). Its a pretty loud sound And anyone who hears it would no doubt know something was wrong. It is the "CounterShaft". I used the tractor the day before and it worked fine, with no issues. Then, the next day, I needed to shell some corn, so I hooked the sheller skid to my 3 point and carried it out to the field where I shell my corn. Then I connected the pto shaft as normal and turned it on for a slow speed test run & it seemed fine. Shortly after full speed shelling started, the grinding noise started. Lowering the 3 point seemed to help for a brief second or two but it did it again and now wont quit. And the hydraulic pump gear and the large pto driving gear both mesh together as normal. So, I removed the hydraulic pump mounting plate and with a light I can see that the large gear that drives the pump gear and the small gear above it are not meshed correctly. Simply put, it appears That the counter shaft has moved about a 1/4" to 3/8" toward the rear of the tractor. Toward the PTO. I know there are a few small shafts that run the from the large hydraulic pump driving gear to the PTO assembly. But what is in there that can slide? Anything that can wear out and make this shift possible? The bolt on the large pto gear is tight. If anyone has a book or knows what I'm talking about, I think this noise is coming from the "Constantly meshed gears area" on the counter shaft. Any ideas of what this is and what I can do other than break the tractor down? I really don't want to split that Tractor if I don't Have to. Thanks in advance for any ideas or advice.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Tractor Lovers Dream About - by Angus Crawford. The day started at five o'clock on the morning of Friday, the January 29, 1999. My father, my sister, my uncle, my cousin and myself all climbed into my uncle's Toyota van. It was six thirty in the morning and we had a long day ahead. We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
