In my opinion the 57 super RAM is most fine, I'm very happy for you to have found one with the everything, and the doc, he da man. Also you are supposed hold the lever down all the way for reverse and the noise could very well be the bearing is worn and needs to be changed. That's a guess on my part. Hank

Nice looking unit and has all the covers. That is a big plus. If that is going to be a working tractor I sure would not worry about what shade of green it is. Now if you planing on a restoration you may want to do some changing. Put a new disc on it and make sure the two are lined up when you pull the lever back and you will be in business. Mine is noisy too in reverse, I think that is kind of the nature of them. Fun little tractor.

If you've been moving forward, there will be a brief pause between pulling it into reverse, and the tractor to move back. There is is quite a bit of play to be taken up between the chain, sprockets, and gearbox, plus the pawls in the rear hubs have to switch direction and lock in to drive backwards.
It does sound like you may need a reverse disk, but they're available from at least one of the site sponsors.
