Guess tha sound!

Welcome to John's FAVORITE gameshow.....
Guess that sound!!!
While driving I got distracted and drove into some.grass that was feet tall.
I hear a grinding sound and look over to see my truck buried with grass wrapped thickly around the axles
It's making a beautiful grinding sound and has lost most of its power when it does go .
So I take apart the transmission and look at my gears
Nothings wrong with em they look great
I add a little marine grease just cause it's open.
So it's not trans put it all back together
Still makes the sound I figured it out fairly quickly and got him all fixed up
Can you guess that sound? Lol I'm betting a lot of you can just from the sound and issue it took me a few tries to figure it out

Bearings is my guess

 

[fstnd]

Try removing the middle gear to see if it's the bearing

its not a bearing they were just fine i cheked em

Are the gears inline with each other? That idler gear was wobbling around so much because it wasn't being retained by the other bearing, and made it hard to tell.

nope not gears
gears are fine and aligned, the dab of grease helped em out, ut runs perfect now
(i thought it was gears as well, that grinding seemed to be coming from them but it wasn't

Forgot to mention this but it will help locate where the sound is coming from.
Use a piece of garden hose "16 inches" or so, or an empty paper towel tube and listen through it.
The sound will amplify when you get near it.
Mechanics use this trick when there is a clicking sound somewhere in the engine.

nah, my pinion grub screw backed out!!
after i took everything a[art and found it all to be in sound condition i then started backing up from there and noticed the pinion wasn't lined up anymore touched it and it slid back, got lucky it didnt get lost

I've never heard them do that one... they use a wrench and place it on the valve covers and listen by putting the end to their ears. works pretty well...

I use a scrwedriver.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I use the tube method because it really amplifies it.
I have used the other also.
Using a short piece of garden hose you can flex it and reach places you can't get with a wrench or screwdriver.

I use a mix of blue loctite paste & purple liquid for grubs.

Yup. And the initial  crunch is a little better, too!
