rear end whine

[Guest]

I have 2 b112's one I can push around in the shop and it rolls freely with no drag or noise, the other one was a recent purchase and it rolls real hard and with a loud whine, I have changed the gear oil and still to no avail. suggestions ?

Could it be the brake band dragging?

Does one of them have the rear non-slip diff. and the other one have the tension hub?? The non-slip diff. is located between the right rear wheel and the trans case and is part of the axle tube assembly. The tension hub has 2 bolts with lock nuts on them located on the outside end of the right side axle shaft which you can see looking at the end of the shaft and will be minus the non-slip diff. Hope I havn't confused you here as I seem to be getting that way about now. Best, >>->happyjack<-<<

My old B-1 has some gear whine when you push it around in neutral. Is normal as far as I know. Roy
