Trouble on right side of 350 crawler loader

Post by Jimmy Fackler » Sat Jul 22, 2017 2:26 pm

Just put new clutches in and she ran great for 3-4 days over the course of 2 weeks...now everything is still fine except for moving forward the right side wont brake to turn and the brakes dont seem to be holding as good either...when reversing the right side grabs fine and the brakes work a little bit...any ideas??

There was a screeching sound coming from the right side...not anymore...thought is was just from new parts...when brakes were applied it screeched and when steering handle was pulled to turn right it screeched but not in reverse...where to start trouble shooting??

Sounds like the brake bands may not have gotten install onto the brake drums correctly. When installing the final, the band may not have ended up wrapped around the drum as it's is supposed to and the drum is rubbing on metal part of band causing the screeching plus it doesn't brake properly. I don't know if you can see in thru the adjustment covers or if you'll have to pull the finals to verify if this is the problem.
