Hi All
Simply need a little guidance as this old 14 tonne cat e140 is dragging its bum around and as there are several faults i am wondering what to start with,.
It is as though the left track brake is dragging or not getting into a faster speed as the right track and whilst going backwards up a slight incline they rattle and chatter and sound terrible but a little more throttle as in flat out the chatter stops a little but is still there.
Have not had it that long and as there are about only four bottom rollers that seem to look ok on each side so realise that is not helping ,the planetary drive gears were dry both sides but thankfully looked to still have half a cup or so in them so i think i caught them in time.
I swapped track reliefs but the left side is still weaker and it seems like that the left wont go until you start the right track moving and then away she goes.
The bushes are worn but i have used worse the sprockets seem ok but ive not measured them.
So do i get rollers fixed first or reseal the slew rotary joint or pull the track motor apart.
Thanks in advance
