Just want to thank the contributors, fantastic Forum.
I recently had a ratcheting sound when in reverse. I was unable to stop the noise or stop the engine. I tried turning of key, tried using kill switch, nothing worked. Finally forced stall by putting in first gear, released clutch while brake was on and finally stalled. Tried to start again and battery was dead, totally dead. Checked with volt meter, only had two volts. Put on charger, took 3 days to charge.
Searched internet for solutions, no success. I could see the dollars disappearing. Finally remembered this site, did a search for "ratcheting sound in reverse." Did some reading and found a response with pictures. One suggestion was to spray a certain part with Tri-Flow, my thought was yeah sure. Went to shed got Tri-Flow, removed chrome panel on right side, pointed Tri-Flow towards area shown in picture and sprayed. Waited a couple of minutes, tried to start engine, engine started. While in neutral pushed reverse button "R" lit up pushed lever for reverse and backed up.
Again, want to thank those contributors that take the time to share their experiences on the solutions they have discovered. Their responses are greatly appreciated.
