 JD Gator XUV 825i Noise

I have a new JD Gator XUV 825i with 16 hours on it. It has developed an annoying metal/rattle type sound coming from the engine area. I had not noticed this sound until the 10 hr service was performed at the JD dealership. I let them know about it when I got home and noticed the rattling sound. By the way, on the 10 hr service, there was a problem when shifting to forward gear. It would not always go into gear properly. They made adjustments to the shift linkage and also found that the engine idle rpm was way too high and lowered it. I carried the Gator back in this week and they kept it for 3 days. They hear the rattle too, but cannot find the source. They told me to take it home and to let them know if it gets any worse. Bottom line, I'm not happy about having to deal with this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

 JD Gator XUV 825i Noise

I've been getting some input about this rattling sound from various discussion boards. The consensus seems to be a problem with the front differential. This is a known issue with JD. Here is a post from someone who responded with more specific information. He had the differential replaced and that took care of it:

"I should have actually said the engine is directly connected to the transmission (solid, no rubber), which is directly connected to the driveshaft (solid, no rubber). While the engine and transmission have rubber mounts, this driveshaft does not. So, you can understand vibrations would be transmitted from the engine/transmission to the driveshaft and its mounts (pillow block type bearings, in the automotive world they are referred to as center or hanger bearings. In the ag world they call them pillow block bearings) - causing the rattle. I think mine had like 14 miles on it when it started."

The dealership has had the unit for several days. They have exhausted all efforts to determine the cause of the rattle, including any of the reasons mentioned in the above posts. They ended up thinking it was the clutch, but after they borrowed one from another unit, the rattle continued. This unit is a 2011 model with 26 hrs on it. The rattle started at around 9 hrs. They feel they have put enough labor into it and maybe all the 825i's have this sound. Not sure what I can do next.

That is exactly where I am going with this. Did your issue get resolved after the Regional Manager got involved? Thanks
