hi everybody Im new to this forum, just purchased a 79model d65e-6 with some issues to fix, the tractor moves forward and reverse and all three gear shifts but when you pull on left hand clutch lever and apply brake pedal the tractor stops dead and doesnt move and if you pull hard and stand on pedal it gets a pumping motion on the pedal??? tractor turns to the right with no problems at all, I have pulled the filter and the oil has that metallic sheen to it but no signs of chunky metal will i be looking at the steering clutch packs or brake bands?? waiting on a shop manual from komatsu australia before i open this can of worms, any help will be appreciated thanks
