I have spent hours on line hunting with no good threads on this, most people have the opposite problem with the noise when the cam is pushing down but I have it when the cam is pulling up and only under a load. It sounds like there is a dog rubbing as it rotates and if you put a stick on the housing you can feel it. It does not make any noise when in high range no matter what the load is and in low range it will not make any noise if the cutter is not in contact. It never had this problem before but I have changed the V belt since I used the low range, I took it all back apart and couldn't see where I had messed up and I tried wedging the cam ring higher with no difference in noise. There doesn't seem to be any excessive wear in the slot of the cam ring, screw shanks look good as well so I am assuming it is internal? Any pointers before I tear down would be appreciated. Thanks
