We have a 1950 F6 bought new at some point the rear end went dry and they kept on going. Till this day since then it sounds the same as yours growling under load and quiet no load. I been wrenching for 60 yrs and are no and's ifs or buts: the ring and pinion and or bearings are toast nothing to do with mounts or fans. Whether its winning or growling thats a ring and pinion problem . All these parts, many venders have in stock with a choice of ratios. Its a 12 pack beer job LOL My son bought a 1931 Murry body model A exactly the same simptons you have. So I took the axle apart and (this was loud all gears and nothing when coast) I found NO pinion bearing or race it was blue from heat. We replaced every thing from I Think "Joes or Tams" in Mass. comes with all shims gaskets ; think we went to 3:54 ring and pinion now its a dream sam

I have no idea as to the cause of your noise. Here are some choices to isolate the sound. Try contacting the Blue Ridge Regional Group to see if someone in the Regional Group could give you some advice. Jay has noted that you said that the sound level did not change with speed, I would like to know if the frequency changes as the speed increases. You could also post a You-Tube video with sound recorded with your cell phone.

Cliftford is correct regarding guesswork without seeing the car. I addressed that in my original post. However, having very limited experience with these cars, I was looking for ideas as where to start on my troubleshooting. All of you have given me a lot of information to begin the process and I want to thank everyone for your help. I'll begin the testing this coming week and will post here what I have found. I'm praying it's something simple. I've no room to pull out rearends, torque tubes, engines, etc or the know how to repair them. If any of the people who read this are in the Charlotte NC/ Columbia SC area I would really like to hear from you. Anyway I'll keep ya'll posted and thanks again for your help and ideas. That's one of the reasons I joined this club. Brad

This proves what I've always said: all of this online diagnosing, even by the most knowlegable of us, is at best just educated guesswork. You need to have the car sitting in front of you to really tell what is going on.

Guys, don't overlook this symptom from the original post: " Driving through the gears the noise starts and continues at the same level no matter what the speed." If it was in the drive train, wouldn't the noise change with speed?

It could be an exhaust pipe rubbing against the frame or handbrake cable. If the car has dual exhausts, check the left exhaust pipe first as it is routed through a more restricted area.

hi while you are looking around check the fan for loose blades, or cracks ? or loose pulleys, including water pumps and fan belt for hardness, cracks,brittle ? etc, but it does sound like a trans problem or rear end, drain the trans and run a magnet though the oil and see if you can find any metal and do the same with the rear end, once the rear is drained you might be able to look in the rear to see the ring gear ? also check the wheel lug nuts and rear axle nuts, my 2 cents 1937RAGTOPMAN

Steve, you certainly have a right to your opinion, but don't go dump on the well experienced opinions of others. Just state your own opinion and let it go at that.

I seriously doubt that it's the fan hitting the radiator; that would be too obvious. you'd see marks on the fins on the inner side of it, and that would NOT be a noise only in gerar and driving; you'd hear it at idle speed,because those fan blades are stiff and do not flex!' IT's IN THE TRANSMISSION ORV REAR END!!

No! A whine in the rear or in the transmission could go away, but not necessarily! It could contine when you let of of the gas.
