just wondering If someone could give me some ideas on what the noise could be its there as soon as I turn it on it sounds like it's going around and around sometimes high pitched and scraping not very load tho and worse when in higher gears or reving

remove the fan belt and start the engine. Is the sound still there?

If not then something stuck in fan, fan scraping on tinware or generator bushes are on there way out.

beyond that it's hard to say.

The sloppy gear stick is likely to be the shift rod bushing, use 'grasshopper' Joel's 'how to' to work you through it, its a cheap fix with a bit of effort that is well worth the time.
