curlett Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I have a 3415 that was a gear shift that I switched over to a hydro and now I can see the driveshaft through the old shifter hole. I never paid much attention but seeing the driveshaft through the old shifter hole I noticed it seems to be wobbling or out of round a little. I can't notice any vibrating or noise from it and was wondering if anyone else ever noticed a driveshaft like this. I looked a little closer at all 4 of my tractors and 2 don't wobble any and 2 wobble a little so is this a common thing to not worry about as long as there is no loud vibrating or noise? It kindof has me worried about the imput shaft and bearings in the bgb. Thanks
Bruker Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Well, since no one else has chimed in I'll say just cover the hole so you don't see the shaft wobble.
BLT Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Take off the driveshaft with the discs attached at both ends. Roll the shaft on a flat surface. If the discs run perfectly straight the shaft is fine. If the discs wobble in and out , the shaft is bent and should be replaced.
