JD6105R Squeaking Noise

sleddog · Oct 29, 2012

Hi

I just purchased a new John Deere 6105R tractor. I have around 26 hours on the tractor. From day one the tractor has been making a squeaking noise. When driving along you can hear the squeak every now and then but when you press the right brake the noise will happen every time, it does not happen when pressing the left brake. The dealer has been out to have a look and they have been unable to fix it so far. As you can imagine it is getting pretty annoying and I would like to resolve the issue.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be making the squeaking sound when pressing the right brake, if so I would appreciate hearing them

Thanks
Sleddog

A friend of mine had a rear wheel that was loose and was squeaking. It wasn't enough that you would know it was loose, but enough that under the right conditions would shift and squeak. Some rear tires the torque spec can be 400 foot lbs. The dealer actually found the issue because they had seen it before.

I could also see a brake issue, but not familar with that model to know if it would cause it or not.

Hello,

How are you liking the 6105R. I'm looking to purchase a new tractor and considering this model. I like the TLS and 50kph options. Dealer here in States is quoting around 91,000 USD.

Could be air in the lines? If they are like my 6125R then the brakes are either hydraulic or air (I would presume hydraulic cause air is a special ordered feature.) try pumping it a few times and see if it gets any better would be my first guess. I have the tech manuals for that tractor and will read up and see what it says.
(Edit: I guess I should ask what transmission do you have?)
