[AT] IH cub

[bwhdon]

George,

Would that cause the pto to pop out of gear when mowing? the noise sound
like it is in the rear bearing to me . what is your modification for the
bearing when you get the time. I kinda if your running 2 with the noise
maybe your not so load therory is one to consider.

Don
