Hello everyone,
I am in the process of rebuilding the steering clutches on my 450B and could use a little advice about why my tractor lost power on the right hand side. While pulling back on the left side steering clutch lever in forward or reverse my tractor loses all power on the right side and stops in its tracks completely. Pinion shaft looks great, bull gear is solid without missing teeth, and the drive shaft that runs through the clutch pack is in great shape. I have noticed some pitting on the steel plates in the steering clutch assembly but the fibers look to be in good condition. Is it possible that the clutch pack was sticking and not allowing power to be transmitted to the final drive?
All advise about this common issue with the 450B's will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all
