![]() In trying to understand the setup, does the right side adjuster adjust the travel for the left side planetary? or is the rod just one long rod that the adjustment on either side essentially centers for optium travel so both planetarys engage or disengage? Here's my issue after adjusting, the machine would drive forward/backwards fine and turn left, but when pulling the right lever, it would not turn right. After getting the right amount of free play in the rod on both sides, I adjusted the free travel for the levers, buttoned everything up and tried driving the machine. The left side was close, within about half a turn. ![]() The right side adjuster was tunrned in about 8 full turns more than needed to have free play in the rod that sits behind the brake fork (name?). Using the book method, I adjusted everything per procedure to include the steering clutch. After much pressure washing, I checked all the linkages, welded up and drilled out some rod ends that are too hard to buy, replaced all the clevis pins, which took up a lot of the play in the right side linkage. The right lever had to be pulled back to the seat to get the machine to turn. ![]() Before messing with the brakes, the left steering lever pulled back about normal, 12-13 inches, and the machine turned fine. The machine is a '72 model powershift and I do have the manual for it. I'm looking for advice on adjusting the steering/pivot brakes on my dozer.
