b2910 squeal high range

dieseldoc_576 · Dec 27, 2006

I have 2002 b2910 hst with 110 hrs. In cold weather with engine and hst warmed up, I noticed when when in high range picking up speed it gets squeal and some vibration. I bought this tractor used with 80hrs and it does not look like hydrostat filter or hydralic suction filter has been changed. Filters are still have gray paint and no visible filter numbers. So I assume the oil has maybe has not been changed either at the recomended 50 hrs or filter screen cleaned. Does this sound like I'm on the right track?

I have the same year and model as you. While I don't notice any vibration, it does make a noise that is most noticeable in high range. The best way I can describe it is like a singing or whining and will make it in forward or reverse. It has done this since I've owned it, and I've always passed it off as normal. The 2910's have such a quiet exhaust note, that it's easy to hear every other noise they make. I'm not sure about your vibration however. My filters have been changed, but the udt fluid is original. I guess I'd start with checking the screen. Have you asked your dealer about any of this?

Check your drive shaft to the front differental. On my B3030 there was a dust cover that worked loose and run on the drive shaft. It sounded like a bearing was bad. It too was more prononced while driving foward.

I talked to kubota shop foreman yesterday, he thought I should change oil and filters, clean screen for starters, He said maybe starving for more oil flow or to much pressure at relief valve. Thanks for your responses,would like to here more.

I had the same problem with my 2710 when the weather got cold. Your gonna think I'm nuts but it's the rubber boot that the drive shaft goes through leading to your front axle (squeels like a stuck hog). All I used was WD-40, sprayed it were the shaft spins into to boot and BINGO....noise was gone. I can't promise you've got the same problem but two seconds under the tractor and a can of spray is worth a try.
