[Spam] [AT] Transmission Gear noise

[LeRoy Price III]

Yeah, I know its difficult but I think what I'm hearing is normal, a very 
low
rumble or whine and its not ready a whine.  Nothing that can be heard
unless you are sitting on the tractor.

Shifts good, nothing high pitched or no clunks.  It doesn't really grind 
unless to
try and shift while moving which I think is normal.  I don't think you are 
suppose
to shift on the fly but I could be wrong.

I'll drain and flush it today.  I went to the Automotive store for Gear oil 
and they only
had quarts and nothing heavier than SAE80.  I think I need SAE 90.
