Hey fellows,
I have a Cat 416c with a standard direct drive transmission. As I was digging today a noise started coming from the transmission. It sounded kinda like a low pitch bearing squeal or maybe like an old metal buzzer. I turned the machine off and the squeal did not stop immediately. It winded down to a stop over about three seconds. I started the machine back up and the sound started back after a few minutes. I did found out that when I put the machine in gear the squeal would stop. It would immediately start back when it was shifted into neutral. It does not mater whether forward of reverse. It only squeals in neutral.
Any help?
