    Noise in final drives-750J LGP Deere

    The 6k's I ran at my public job were almost new or no more than 24-2500 hrs on them too. That could make a difference. I'm a cat man but couldn't find the size range/price that I wanted. Wish cat would make a 7k in the 36-37k pound range but hell they would go for $150k with 5000 hrs on them lol
