OK I'm a newby here and while I have read several of your postings this will be my first post. I have a D3B I believe it's an '85 serial number 23Y01880. This is a left hand turn problem. I have read many of your comments on this subject and here is what I have done so far, adjusted brakes on both sides (adjustments under floor plate two diamond shaped covers two bolts each) had excessive travel on both pedals now up to spec., tried driving straight(no pedals, goes pretty straight with very slight drift to right), tried pushing centered load (again no pedals, both tracks seem to drive evenly dig in to ground straight), tried pushing load on right side of blade(both tracks seem to drive evenly gradually pushing machine to left)I hope to change bevel gear oil today if I get time. Here is what I think is wrong correct me if needed. (1)Possible failing clutch on right side, (2) possible steering valve problem. How is the best way to determine which? Somewhere I thought I read that the steering valves can be rebuilt, is that so? I am trying to locate a oil pressure gauge to check clutch pressure unfortunatly I am very limited on tools and equipment to work on this so if repair goes to far I'll have to make other plans but I hope to solve the problem myself or at least eliminate as many simple things as I can.
Well that's about everything I can think of at this point, any ideas?
