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 - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
