1948 Farmall Super A - final drive.....

I'm getting a knocking sound from left side final drive.
I raised the tractor, rotated the wheel - no noise.
Took final drive off - it spins nice and gears look ok. No noise.

Question is... should the bull gear be tight?

Right now while the final drive is vertical on the bench and tightened down on the axle shaft, there is about .030" side to side play inbetween the bull gear and the spacer.

I can get pics if need be. The I&T manual lacks any kind of this info.

Thanks, Jim.
 
Tighten up all bolts mite want to get them loose then oil the threads. It wont make any noise with the wheel jacked up just when you drive.
 
Ok, I'll try that.

There is no indication that the wheel weights are loose.
Bolts are tight and the paint around them hasnt cracked....... the dirt and dust all around the weights dont look to be moved/moving at all.

I will loosen and retighten the bolts, but I am now thinking it is the bearing.
Butttttt......I've been wrong before.
I hope its a loose weight.
Thanks guys. I'll post back when I find the problem.
