I have a straight 350 loader (reverser) that has developed a metal on metal screech only in reverse. The noise is speed dependent, not RPM and seems to be coming from the rear.
There is no noise in any forward speed, it is most noticeable in first gear, less in second and third.
Any guesses on what I need to look at?
350 screaching noise in reverse
Countershaft bearing fail would be my guess.

I'm sorry, read "reverser" and thought that is where the noise is. Look at the sprockets and see if they are hitting against the rear roller. If so, final drive bearings are out. Or even if not hitting, bearings could still be out. Try and pry on the sprocket with a large bar and see if you get any movement.
