Last spring I could hear a slight tick in the rear end of our 1486 occasionally, only when backing up. I chisel plowed with it for a couple days, then I found that I could noticeably hear it/feel it when pulling. I quit using it for the tillage and used the other tractors, but decided to see if I could figure out where to go after before I parked it. I jacked up the rear end and blocked it off the ground, removed the 3 point top link cover so I could look into the rear end, and had dad get in it and run it. I had him put it in low gear so I could look at the ring and pinion. They looked great, lots of lube oil being sprayed on them too. So I had him put it in High 3 and hold the right brake while I looked in the housing and used my stethoscope. Nothing on the left side. Had him hold the left brake in High 3, bingo. Noisy, and clicking. Good deal, probably just a bull pinion, bull gear and all of the bearings in there. Good deal, I put it away until I had time to tear it apart. Drained the oil out of the left final, transmission, and rear end center housing, and were clean as could be. Drained the oil out of the right final and picked out metal with my magnet, looked more like bearing than gear, and didn't get any big chunks. Got the final off, and lucky me, it just needs a bull pinion bearing set, and an inner axle bearing set. I'll also put an axle seal and brakes in it while I'm already here. I already have the brakes done on the LH side. Makes me feel pretty good it is even better than I thought, that NEVER happens here.
