Grinding Noise

[StumpNocker]

In the rear of my 95 series ds. Most of my search returns are of others having it occur when coasting, mine coasts the quietest, but at acceleration it gradually gets a little louder in pulses then is a constant grind unless I let off of the pedal. Bearings or gears here? What do I do?

i am in the process of a resolving a similar situation and i believe my culprit is the motor brushes. they started arcing on the commutator and have started causing problems. i am in the middle of the fix so i am not 100% sure this is the problem but regardless if this is my problem it needs to be addressed.

this is the thread i started along with some pics for reference.

Thanks for that, I reckon I'll start the tear down next week to see what I can see. This week will be tough to do as we are having a shutdown at the plant. With14 and 16 hour days I wont be doing much work at the house this week. I appreciate the reply.
