ok I got a verification on went wrong with his tractor it was the spindle bearings which fell apart and wiped out the gears. I do not believe that is your problem. But what you are saying that with the tractor in 2 wheel drive the tractor operates normally. Only when in 4 wheel you feel the problem. Is this correct?
ok I will get that info. but I believe it was a gear with some missing teeth and bad bearings, but I will get a confirmation on that
as far as greasing heavy equipment most everything I have seen is every 8 hrs. of operation. As I think about it that is decaled on my finishing mower and is in the operators manual on my jcb backhoe.
do you have a loader on the tractor? If so there has been problems with the front axles assm. with overloading the buckets and running on real ruff terrain or getting them stuck with the front wheels turned on angle . A friend of mine just went threw this with a older Kubota.
I live in s.e. tn. we have heavy clay here mixed with some rock . I use a subsoiler yearly in the garden to loosen the ground. What I have done is to strap 2 20 kilo suitcase weights to the frame so it does not skip across to ground, it will bury to the horizontal frame of the subsoiler quickly. I go about every 2 ft. when subsoiling the ground. If you do what I have done make a place where you can strap it to a large post or tree for when you disconnect it, it will be very top heavy a real toe crusher. My father in law plowed in electrical uf cable with one with out the cable shoe, He went over it once without the cable then went over it pulling the cable , I think it plowed at 12 inches. But he did not have my subsoiler with the weights. I got my subsoiler at tractor supply it is a king kutter. Look at several if you can there is some differences in how heavily they are built. Oh I pull mine with a 50 hp 4 wheel drive tractor the 20 hp 4 wheel drive I have will not pull it well in the soil here.
I would be tempted to use something like assembly lube on critical mating surfaces just in case you end up running it a little longer than you would have wanted to.
I would be tempted to remove the front drive driveshaft as a quick test that would isolate the front end but the drive line to it would still be active. But if it is magnified to the point you can feel it only under load this might not tell you much., but it might too.
