Gear chatter on JCB 536

[A1an]

I seem to get a gear rattle off the gearbox whilst doing road speeds, not when accelerating more on the slack/overrun.

Normal?

Any jcb I've driven seems to do this, are you roading with the 4wd in or out?... I've always found its louder when it's out.

 

[A1an]

Out of 4wd.

Doesn't sound healthy.

Prop shaft universal joints ok?

Yeah it's spot on.

Yeah it's spot on.

is that one where the handbrake is internal? Older 540 had some slack on the external disc which gave a bit of a rattle.
