Ingersoll 6020 making "whining noise" while driving forward?

[insidegroove]

I bought a used Ingersoll 6020, GREAT little tractor! Everything works great with it........the only thing I noticed that I am not sure is normal or not is a high pitched "whining noise" that seems to come from the right rear tire area while driving forward. It seems to get a bit louder the longer I run it. The whining noise stops while it's idling.........only happens driving forward. Any ideas? This is my first tractor and am still learning. Tried to buy a manual for it but can't find one.

The noise is normal, it is a hydraulic drive, not hydrostatic. And uses motor oil, not hydraulic fluid.
