It is not unusual for transaxle gears to make a whining noise while the tractor is moving. Normally, this is more noticeable for new tractors or new transmissions. This sound is the result of friction from the gear teeth meshing inside the transaxle casing.

These gears will wear slightly over time, and this sound should decrease.

If the condition worsens, we suggest that an authorized service dealer inspect the unit or please contact us, so that we can guide you with the proper procedures.
