Final update: The rattle was caused by the front driveshaft Shroud not a crossmember. There is only a tiny spot weld that broke from vibration. They said it was only to keep grass from getting tangled around the drive shaft so i opted to keep it off.

Fixed: They found a metal broken cross member under the motor that would slap against the engine at certain RPM's. I can't believe i missed during my many searches. I'm really happy with the dealer and relieved it wasn't anything major.

update: dealer called and told me they can't duplicate the noise. When It started up to be driven off the trailer once I got it to the dealers I couldn't hear it and I thought " how typical". The mechanic starts it multiple times a day and varies the rpms and hears nothing. he checked the...

Absolutely! Scott's recreation went from 1 dealer to 2 since i bought my tractor and they're opening 2 more in New England. They're doing something right I'd say. It's nice to have a dealer on your side that's for sure.

My dealer's (Scotts Recreation) mechanic is quite positive just based on the sound and symptoms it's a bad injector. I'm really happy how they treat me and I'm confident having them as my dealer. I will update when fixed which is estimated to be a week from monday.

You're right it is. I spoke with the dealer today. They thought the sound was valve related. It's going to the dealer tomorrow. My dealer has 2 shops 2.5 hours from me in either direction, i chose the one that could get it in right off.

I posted a video. Hopefully it works

thanks! I have been researching but I can't find anything except Yanmar in boat applications

I have a 2020 T394 with a Yanmar engine. The tractor has 304 hours with proper maintenance. It's making a hammering or tapping noise and it sounds like it's coming from the bottom end but it's hard to locate. The noise stops when the engine is hot but if you let it sit for 30 minutes it'll come...

Sorry for the delay, i have skidded some tree length with 20" on the butt including Spruce, fir, tamarack. I haven't twitched out any hardwood but tamarack is extremely heavy. I was on firm ground with no mud also

mine was like that until about 150 hours. I grease it often which helps loosen it up ( 1 pump and grease is coming out)

I'll have to take some but it's nothing special. It's a Hudson Sawyer and I've had it for about 3 years. at the time it was only about $2k. it does a fine job but for a little more $ you can get something a lot nicer.

yup! I forgot to put it in put it in place and tighten the bolts after finished my checks. :eek:😨:eek:😨
