I have a clunk!
So while repairing the Trunion spring which you folks helped me with, I dropped a few parts under the tractor and had to roll the tractor a few inches back and forth to retrieve the parts.
That’s when I noticed a rather significant “clunk” in the rear end. I could both feel it and hear it easily. I did not notice it when the tractor was running. The clunk seems to happen when first rolling the tractor forward or reverse a few inches. I jacked up the rear end and the clunk seems the same with no weight on the tires. I could not notice any wheel bearing movement when I tried to check each wheel individually. And the differential allowed the wheels to move as I believe they should when spun in different directions. I realize that the next step is likely removing the rear plate and having a look. It I’m wondering if there are other tests I could do to give me direction in what to look for when I do the inspection? I will attempt to upload a short vid that shows the problem. I appreciate any assistance or direction you can give me. John in Minnesota My attempt to upload vid did not work.. need to figure out how that works too!

Sorry to say, but a "clunk" is a very vague complaint.
We'll have to wait for the movie for a better understanding. But most likely I would think it's excessive back lash between the ring and pinion gear. Which for what these machines do isn't harmful. Glad you got the trunion fixed

Maybe a video link?
I may be technology challenged cuz I can’t seem to get this link properly in this post but there is a short YouTube of the clunk I’m talking about.
I agree, clunk is way to vague to get and response. Just having trouble getting vid up. Link should be: https://youtube.com/shorts/J505cyqyA...GXb0_0A6WUSCFR Not sure what I am doing wrong with link. John in Mn

Yes I think I need to take the cover off soon. I had to adjust the trunion the other day and had the tractor running for a short time. With the motor running I cannot notice the clunk, or feel it. I don’t want to be too aggressive in changing directions until I have a better sense of what the clunk might be. I cannot get to opening up the diff until October sometime. Time to order a new gasket etc. Thanks for your thoughts. John in Mn

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
