841 Input Shaft Bearing question

[Ford4thousand]

841 is making a slight noise when clutch pedal is out (engaged), goes away when I press clutch down. Which of these 2 bearings is the most likely culprit? #5 or #7? I think if it's #7 I can't get it by just splitting tractor at clutch, correct?

What about 26 & 33.

From what I understand, in most manual transmissions, those input shaft bearings are almost always the culprit. But, I basically can't find any topics directly related to the Ford 4 speed

What he is going to find is water contamination issues so after 60 years it needs all the bearings. Anytime 5 & 7 are in motion 26 & 33 are at work also. For those that have been deep into 60 year old tractor transmissions they understand what water contamination does over time.
