Odd noise

[Nickelpickel]

If you press the clutch pedal, does the noise go away? I understand this tractor is HST but still used a dry clutch and clutch pedal for the PTO.

Yes

 

[Nickelpickel]

Do you feel vibration?

No just rattling

If someone wants to use my tractor I say give me $50K to
hold while you use it and if anything is broke etc you'll
have enough to replace it and he can keep the tractor.
OR SORRY my insurance only covers me.

What did you tell the borrower after you noted several bent implements?

He showed them to me before leaving and said he would fix them when he had his acetylene torch

Quiet with the clutch pressed but noisy with it out can be throw-out bearing.

What is that?

I searched this site and am now educated on the throw-out bearing, thanks this sounds like a real possibility

If that is the problem I doubt it's because of anything which he did. How many hours are on the machine? Is it still under warranty? While that doesn't cover abuse (or friction items) I would check to see if it's a covered item before doing anything which could void your coverage.

The big question not answered is, what were the implements he also let the gentlemen use. Were any of them PTO driven? And another big question what type environment was he using the tractor and implements in old established soil or in new virgin soil. Sounds like he was using the tractor as a dozer to clear and prepare land for seeding or planting.
