- 2021 Toolcat 5600
Mods - This is a double post from another thread, hopefully this is allowed. Trying to get more eyes on it for more ideas. Thanks!
My 2021 Toolcat 5600 has started making a clicking noise from somewhere in the front end and I am hoping for some ideas on what to check or how to fix. Stream of conscious details incoming:
My 2021 Toolcat 5600 has started making a clicking noise from somewhere in the front end and I am hoping for some ideas on what to check or how to fix. Stream of conscious details incoming:
- I noticed it after changing the transaxle fluid (~350 hours on the machine)
- clicking noise comes from the transxle/ inner CV joint area
- noise only happens when turning. It is very rhythmic and the intensity and rate changes depending on how far you turn and how fast you are going while you are turning.
- noise also happens when the machine is stationary and you turn the wheels from side to side fairly quickly
- if the machine is lifted off the ground, the noise does not occur. When picked up I tried forward, backward, turning the tires, everything I could think of. No clicking noise at all.
- I changed the front and rear transaxle fluid at the same time, and only the front seems to have the clicking sound.
