Steady clicking sound at low speed

[Naterocketman]

My L4600 HST is making a steady clicking/creaking sound while running at low throttle with the accelerator pedal partially depressed. I swear I can feel it in the pedal, but it sounds like it might be coming from the HST pump or the transmission. Any ideas?

I'd try disengaging 4WD, changing speeds, changing throttle to see if the noise changes or disappears to help narrow it down.

I'd also check the inside of the wheels. You might have picked up a stick/rock, etc.

I'd check the torque on the wheel studs/bolts.

It's not the hour-meter, is it?
The one in my lawn tractor makes a loud click about every 5 seconds.
