1952 John Deere A problems.

[Davisracing55]

So on Sunday I was mowing hay with my 1952 John Deere A tractor. Mowed 13 acres no problems, then on my way home the tractor seems like it was trying to lock in gear. It was bogging down, and trying to pull to the right. Over the winter I rebuilt the motor, clutch, and carburetor. I have used this tractor alot since then with no issues. I was not in the transmission. Could it be a clutch problem? Thanks

I would check the wheel bearing on the right side, the brake on that side and the oil level in the rear end.

When I went through the tractor, I cleaned and lube the brakes, and did flush the rear end, amd put new 80w90 gear oil in it. What's the best way to check the wheel bearing? Thanks

I had one do that, turned out to be bearing on one end of differential.

I also noticed when I take it out of 3rd gear, it makes a pop sound on the cover of the left side of transmission.
