Transmission Clunk

[gregko]

Good evening, I have a 1950 John Deere B (SN 267148) and it has developed a "clunk" in the transmission. It only happens when in gears on the right side, 1st, 2nd, 4th and reverse. The noise speeds up and slows down with tractor speed. I have blocked the back of the tractor up and put it in gear, held one wheel in place while I rotated the other wheel, can feel and here it in the transmission. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have removed the inspection plate and looked for broken tooth but haven't found anything yet. If you any direction to point me towards to get started I would appreciate it.

There is most likely a broken tooth on the low range gear. That's the gear change when you move the lever acrossed the bottom slot of the shift pattern.

Okay, I pulled the gear shift column off tonight and found this main gear had some teeth problems. Would this be enough to cause the clunking?

Jack up one wheel and roll it by hand so you can inspect all the gear teeth on all the shafts.
