New Holland T7 front PTO Rattle

[ColinV6]

Had a dealer fitted front PTO put on recently and ever since have had the most annoying tinkling rattle from that area, fitter was out today and said they all do it when the PTO is disengaged.

I will admit it’s less obvious when it’s engaged but it can still be heard, doesn’t seem a plausible reason to me, will try and upload a video but can anyone else with SWB t7 say if there’s also rattles...

That’s bad, so was it silent for the 4 weeks after new bearings? Mines been like it ever since it was fitted. Local contractor said his T7 with PTO is the same.

depends on with pto is fitted
is yours the type with the clutch pack where the shaft goes on if so theres nothing you can do rattle for day 1

Ours is a 260 so maybe different on lwb models but no noises from it.

 

[ColinV6]

The fitter did say the LWB models used a different style of PTO.

Combined with the better suspension on LWB, I’m starting to wonder if they actually put much thought into the SWB models at all.

Zuidberg linkage PTO by chance?

Our puma 175 does it, but I've never noticed it on our older one, tractor is year old now, doesn't seem to have come to any harm.dont think it's constant tho.

We've a t7 200 too and suspension is as good if not better than 260, it does have a front loader with softdrive think that helps.

See if this link works...

I think weight helps them, it’s like a different tractor with the mower on the front. But the 245 I had on demo was leagues ahead and had the 3 stage adjustable suspension

Mmm hard to know sometimes, I used a 2016 t7.210 last year running the mowers with a zuidberg linkage/pto and it "ticked" while it was running with PTO disengaged, have a 17 on the mowers with factory linkage/PTO and it "ticks" but very faint compared to the 16

 

[Boohoo]

Never heard a SWB rattling but the LWB ones rattle when they're about to stop working. Know of a 7030 and a T7.235 that both did it

Our 7 210 rattles a bit but not as bad as the one in the video

Is there a small prop shaft connected?
If so could it be filled with grease to deaden the tinny rattle??

 

[ColinV6]

So the tech is coming back out again later today or on Monday to have another look, I can’t put up with this on a part that cost us over £3k fitted, Im very tractor proud and frankly the noise it’s making is embarrassing.

New PTO clutch fitted under warranty, and while it still rattles a bit, it’s now barely audible, and only really noticeable when you stop the engine
