Noticed when driving tractor in 5 th gear it has a relative whim coming from axle housing nothing loud or alarming it will kind of quiet down when speeding up on throttle but when idle down it makes it. When I pulled the left carrier on the axle the bearing was good but a little loose had some vertical play up and down on it. Is it just from sitting for 3 weeks and not being ran and not being hot oil wise to get things lubricated properly ?
 
If the axle moves up and down you need to pull the end cap and adjust the shims to tighten it up if it has them. As for the whine are you sure it is not the rear end gears?
