Hi all- I bought an older B7200 a few months ago which I'm using pretty heavily at the new house (mowing, box blade work, root ripping, etc).
When using the three point hitch with something with some weight like a 4' box blade, if you raise it quickly a "grinding" noise comes from under the seat area- very brief but a definite noise. I changed the seal in the piston (which did cure the issue of the hitch falling on its own), changed the fluid and cleaned the two strainers. The strainers did have a few metal flakes in them.
What would cause this grinding noise?
