I have a JD 40 crawler. When I pull back on either one of the two steering levers the machine just stops. It wont steer all either way. What do you think is the problem. Please let me know. Thanks alot this forum is the best.

Did it just happen all at once or did it come on over a period of time? When you pull on one lever the power still should go to the other track, not stop the tractor. Do you still have full traction when going straight? The only thing that can be done without pulling it apart is the normal ajustments. Both the tect manual and the operators manual cover the ajustments. No repaires can be done from the outside of the machine. We just had our 430C done and we are not set up for that type of work. It took a trip down the road to the JD dealer. It takes jacks, hoists and concrete floor to do it rigth. And once inside you most likly need a press and some machine work. Plus alot of bull work. We put in new steering cluchs, brakes all new linkage had the drive shafts built up, new seals and new bearings. Bill topped $6,000. Once it is apart you might as well do everything that is needed as it is not fun pulling them apart. But if done right it will last a long time. You don't want to do it twice. If you do tare it down youself, get a JD tect manual. Wish you luck on this one.

You need to ajust your steering clutches and brakes. Get an operators manuel or service manuel to get a complet explanation. Its not to hard but needs to be done corectly.
