Farmall Cub...clutch?

I have a 1950 Farmall Cub, I use it for grading/ leveling dirt w/ a York rake...recently, once she gets hot, it tends to make a lot of noise in 1st gear. Once she cools off, noise goes away, someone suggested that it may be my clutch? I've known this tractor many years, it is most likely the original clutch...how much time should I allot for putting a new one in? When I split it open, should I be looking @ bearings? I have no intention of giving up on my little cub, just want to make her right again. Thanks from Maine.

My 1966 cub Low-boy did the same thing. It started makeing a rumbling noise when it was in second gear. After a while it started doing it in all of the gears. I had a friend change the clutch and I have not had a problem with it since. except for the usuall oil leak out of the rear main. which I also had changed when it was split for the clutch. leaks just as bad now as it did before. But I will never part with it.

I doubt it's the clutch if it only makes the noise in 1st, and only when hot. Check the level of lube in the gearbox first, and probably wouldn't hurt to change it. Sounds like when the lube gets hot and thins out, you've got a noisy bearing.

Yer welcome. As mentioned below, if it IS a noisy bearing (and new oil at the proper level quiets it down) you'll want to replace it before it goes out completely and takes a bunch of other expensive and hard to get at parts with it.

 I think it's all set...thanks!! in reply to Fawteen, 08-16-2005 07:27:46  
I checked my fluid, it was low, so I went to fill it up....getting older, I think I made a mistake last spring, I get all my oil @ Napa...the Hydraulic Jack Oil I bought comes in the same size/shape/coloring container that the 85-90W gear oil comes in...when I went to my shelf, I had 1 qrt of hydraulic oil left & 6 qrts of 85-90W...I know I bought 6 of each last April (I've got loaders that use the hydraulic)....so, it must be thinnner than the gear oil & it must not have the same lubrication qualities....so, it leaked out somewhere (I only drained out about 2&1/2qrts) & it was low....I fill it w/ the "right" stuff & carefully used it & listened to it tonight & it seems fine, quiet & back to "normal"...hopefully I "caught" it in time & problem is solved...thanks again.
