Noise from 2410

[sandalwood]

I was using my 2410 HSDB yesterday doing light loader work and my neighbor who was helping me mentioned that he could hear a noise like a rock rolling around inside the rear tire/rim on the left side (as you sit on the tractor). I hadn't appreciated it but when I cut RPM to 1100 and drove close my building I could hear it. Only present when tractor was moving. Wheel nuts were tight. Original tires, unfilled and never off the rims since I got the tractor new. Only about 60hrs on the clock and 50hr service hadn't turned up any problems. Seems to be working fine for mowing, FEL use etc.

Is this a normal noise I just hadn't appreciated before or is a sign of something more ominous? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Lyle,
On my B7500 I have to regularly tighten the hub bolts. There is a single bolt that tightens a shim on the axle on the hub assembly. Have you tightened them yet. Mine started making noise right around 60 hours too. I find it is easiest to do this with the wheels removed. Hope this helps.

GregJ is correct, check the torque on the hub bolts.

Thanks for the info Lewis and Greg. Will check torque on the hub bolts.

I HAVE A B2400 (earlier version of the 2410) never had any noise like that. if it is that noticable i would check the lug nuts(but think u would feel a loose wheel).
