    DK-40se/hst noise from left front wheel area

    Hard to hear the noise but it is clearly coming from some part of the left front wheel area. Sounds like a clicking, ratcheting noise and is apparent in forward and reverse. It is there whether going straight or turning, and without 4x4 being engaged. Sort of sounds like a CV joint click, but...

    I'd be interested in what brand fluid(s) are being used in your tractors if you're buying them yourself and either doing the install or having the dealer do it for you at 50 hours.
