Even Deere knife rolls on older heads will cause this. Replaced the cluster gear on 4 of 6 rows on a 1996 model 693 we bought new the season we upgraded to deere knife rolls. Went to a 2007 model 893 with calmer bt choppers the next season and no gear box trouble. Your JD dealer could tell you the year they changed the manufacturing process on the cluster gear. I think it was around 2004. We like our calmers BTW.
