I have a Ford 961 Row Crop tractor. This summer I noticed a "clunk" - really more like a "sproing"- as if gears are binding. This noise seems to be heard in both the left and right rear. It is heard while the tractor is turning sharply, pulling a load, or if on a side hill. Initially I heard it more on the right, but now I seem to hear it on both sides (though not both sides at the same time). I was thinking the noise was coming from the gearing in the off set rear axle (this is a row crop tractor), but now am wondering about the differential. Any ideas/ how to determine problem?

Thanks for any help!

A "clunking" noise can come from the power adjust wheels being slightly loose or worn. This seems to be a fairly common occurence. That doesn't quite sound like what you are describing though, but it is the simplest/least expensive thing to check. It would be the first place I would look.

Thanks for the advice...I will definitely check the wheels before anything else...and keep my fingers crossed!
