Steering clutch/ brake compartments seem dry to me .
Fill the oil in the large bung to the top.
Oil will not leak from the steering clutch booster unit to the clutch/brake compartment .
As previously stated brake adjustment is with the hex nut , not the clevis yoke .

I can't tell from the pictures but when I got my 9U the left side didn't drive . The crank arm that works the throwout bearing to the left side was seized in the released position.

I did a little more testing... When I press on the right foot brake, then apply engine power/engagement the right tracks do not move and the engine lugs. I THINK this is how it suppose to work. Given my trial/error education here, that seems logical. On the left side, if I do the same thing with the foot brake, nothing happens, additionally it feels like no power is going to the left track. If I take more pictures of the left brake/clutch cavity what would be the things to get pics of? I will say, the left side does have the wet fluid looks on the edges of the brake band. Could this be the booster pump?

If your steering clutches are in good shape, you shouldn’t be able to stop the right track with the brake and probably would be able to stall the engine depending on which gear and how much throttle you had set at the time.

First thing to check is that you have the free travel on the steering clutch levers and that both levers return to the full forward position against the bump stops when you release them.

If that’s all in order, I expect you have something frozen up not allowing the clutch stack springs to close it, OR the plates are worn too thin and the clutch pressure plate is bottomed out and can no longer compress the stack of disks.

Good news is the clutch assemblies can be removed from the tractor without major disassembly as required by the D2 and D4 tractors.

Hi,
Scans below show the adjusting procedures and are taken from the Grey Operation and Maintenance Instruction Book Form No :- FEO12692-12, the -12 simply tells the change level of the publication, the higher the better.

Double left click the scans to enlarge them.

One of these books is vital to answer most queries and tell you how to service and operate your machine.

Cheers,

The steering clutch levers do not return to the bump stops, they are both very stiff when trying to move. One is stiffer than the other. This weekend, weather permitting, I'm going to fil the steering booster with oil, see what happens. After I cleaned the brake cavities, I was actually able to get the left side track able to stop via the foot brake, this was an improvement. I ended up going deeper into my property, found some mud... and proceeded to get it a little bit stuck.. the winch was able to get me out. No power was able to be applied to the left track at all.... so... I'm going to get this fixed! Seems like its not as bad as I originally thought it was when I bought it....still cautiously optimistic!

This is GREAT! I was looking on EBAY for books, found a couple.. HOWEVER one of the guys on here...that lives near me, let me know he had some books on my rig I could buy from him!... Hoping I can connect with him this weekend. Really appreciate the scans! gives me something to go off of.
