Hi second post for the day. I have just got a B5100e with 800 hrs,runs well changes gears perfectly, diff lock works, but seems to have a whine/grind coming from the diffs/trann? I have changed the tranny oil to no avail. I am thinking of adding some Nulon Tranny treatment, will this hurt anything or is there something else to do. Should I be overly concerned about this noise or just accept it as part of owning an old tractor.

I have been around several different Kubota tractors of varying sizes and they all sound different. I have never seen one that didn't make some sort of whining noise. My M doesn't whine to much but it has a rattle that about drove me crazy. Turned out to be the draw bar vibrating when nothing is hooked to it.

My B6100 will chatter in 5th gear for some reason, not really sure what thats all about. If I drop it in low range and run in 2nd it wont do it.

My B7100 makes a noise too! as long as it doesnt sound like a jackhammer mixed with a bobcat screaming your probably OK.
