    Cat 950A Front end loader

    Serial number would help but I believe you adjust the clevis on the engagement rod to apply more pressure. A lot of times those machines got driven with the brake on destroying the brake linings.

    Buying a 1977 D9H

    Get someone knowledgeable to inspect the machine. As mentioned those final drives can be a fortune to repair. A newer elevated drive machine is far easier to repair.
