B2150 strange noise - looking for advice for what to look at

[moeh1]

My B2150 gear tractor just started “banging” when driving forward like once a second when advancing slowly. It doesn’t make noise in reverse. Doesn’t matter if the clutch is pushed in. It does it all 3 ranges and with our without 4wd engaged. It sounds like it is coming from the tunnel between clutch and rear end. Any ideas are appreciated!

Check universal joints on drive shaft

Check universal joints on drive shaft

I sold my 2150 and I remember the new owner had this problem develop later. It was the front driveshaft universal.

You guys nailed it! Broken universal joint. Easy fix. Thanks.

Tractor is all back together. Kubota u joint is $60, similar one from the u joint store is $20 (20 x 55mm). I’m still smiling though, its running again.
