The "quiet" drives are loud and annoying. I'd rather hear the thrust of the exhaust.

No such thing as a quiet gear drive...

I don't know what brand it is yet but either way I'm convinced that it needs to go.

And neither was my International Scout either I used to own.
I need to buy a balancer puller so I can show you more detail on it.

I think they are very similar to a centrifical blower whine. I like the noise from a good one. It's not too bad realy, but the ones made to be noisey just sound like somethings' not right in there...lol.
