bx2200 front end grinding noise

[brokenbones]

my tractor has a grinding noise from the front end when in 4wd and the bucket full of dirt.. anybody have the same experience? the tractor has 500 hrs and i am the original owner. i only engage the 4wd when used on soft ground or heavily loaded.

I'd check the fluid level in the front differential.

Loose wheels can also make some bad noise. That's easy to check.

Hope this helps.

i change the oil in the front end every 100 hrs. i did check it and its clean and topped off. never thought of the wheels being loose i will lift her up and see what we got. i guess the simple things are overlooked..

Note,
Other posts have suggested that both sides of the front differential need to be checked for fluid level. One side has the dip stick and the other just has the plug.
