JDcrawlers Messageboard

I am using a Jensales manual. JD-P_PC1464. I hope it is good enough right now to get me started.

need some help. my 1985 555 crawler has stopped turning left. I checked the break adjustment screw and turned it some, but no luck. think I have a blockage but just don't know where to look for more info.
