My jd 40c will not turn to the right .After doing some more reading and thinking .I have come up with this thought that the clutch is rusted to the fly wheel on the right drive side. I say this because when I pull on the right drive handle I can hear the motor trying to labor .
Also I am new crawler owner and I am not a 100% sure how the drive system works .this is how I think it works you push on the foot pedal and that disengages the clutch between the motor and the transmission, then on the steer side or drive side has its own throw out bearing and clutch and band brake for both sides .By pulling on the handle you inguage the throw out bearing to disengage the the drive clutch and to engage the band brake to lock up the track for it to turn.
