    1999 JLG 3369 Electric RT not steering more than 1/2" either direction

    Let me start by saying; I am a complete noob who is trying to get an old lift working again. This thing has seen better days, but I got everything working except the steering. To be more specific, the steering does work in both directions, but only the maybe an inch (either direction). I can...

    650G steering issue

    recently replaced the steering clutch band on the right side of my dozer. It would lock the track up when we changed it now it is as if there’s nothing there.

    John Deere 850B no right steering?

    The right pedal on my dozer has been sticking for a while now and seems to have gotten worse.

    Case 1845C Steering issue

    I finally got my 1845C operating. I don't have any history on it because the P/O got it half stripped, radiator and whatever else was worth anything. I'm having a issue with steering, it bucks and jerks when I use the right stick. I removed the seat and blocked it up and used my hands to move...

    Cat D3C II won't steer properly to one side

    I'm working on a D3C series II, 4HJ, that doesn't want to steer to one side. The left pedal will work perfectly...clutch disengages and the brake works smooth and easy for a left turn. The right pedal is much harder to depress and when it is fully applied the machine comes to a stop. If more...

    977l right pedal doesn't hold in reverse

    Greener than a algae covered frog. My Cat 977l is getting to where it is difficult to keep the right track stopped when backing up. Is this a steering clutch or a brake issue. I checked the linkage and is adjusted as short as possible. Does that mean I need brake work? Thanks.
