- John Deere 345
I have 345 which has been a wonderful machine 1100 hrs. I maintain it well, and just recently changed the transmission fluid; I normally do this job from the bottom but decided to do it from the top by removing the seat pan, I found it to be much easier. While I had access to the top side I washed off the gunk with degreaser and a water hose. After starting the tractor I hear a bearing going out sound from the upper portion of the transmission, I have just removed the seat pan again and started it to attempt to pin point the sound. It seems to be coming from either the top of the transmission to the pulley just forward of that. Seem very odd to me that this started right after I changed the fluid, I've check and doubled checked the level and it seems fine and assume the washing would have nothing to do with it but wanted to provide all the details I have.
Great forum, thanks in advance.
