Tractor has 400 hours on it. It has started making an odd noise. Does it in high or low range as well as 2wd or 4wd. Doesn't matter if I am turning or going straight. The noise honestly sounds like popcorn popping. I can actually feel it on the floor board of the tractor but not the steering wheel. I left the tractor on the trailer one day in 95+ degree weather and when I started it, it didn't do it. When I start tractor in barn and move it, it is loud. It does seem to quiet down and completely stop when tractor is warm. I called my dealer, they said bring it in. They said it was probably a wheel bearing. They replaced both wheel bearings as well as the fluid. However, this did not fix tractor. Same problem still exists. I get it. The simple answer is just let it warm up. But I actually use this thing for work. I don't want to be 45 minutes from home and have a break down. I've already lost a box blade customer because tractor sat at dealer for 3 weeks. Thanks in advance for the help from you folks that know much more than me.
