If the brakes are grabby, you'll need to remove the floor pan, and remove the brake chambers on the side of the transmission. On fairly level ground, just letting off the foot accelerator, it should stop within a matter of a foot, or so. You may do it several times, but eventually you'll break a motor, or transmission mount. And you don't shift your truck from forward to reverse, without stopping. It has a torque converter just like in a car, or truck. You have much more control of the machine.Īs for general operation, when shifting from forward to reverse, let the machine come to a stop, before changing direction. You can always drop the bucket, using it as an emergency brake.Īnd, if you plan on hauling it much, back it on, and pull it off. Try to keep it within a foot or so, in case it gets away from you. You'll need to raise the bucket as you back completely off. Height will changes as you back off, and the back of the tracks get on the ground. Keep the bucket within a foot of the deck/ramps. Do NOT touch a brake.!! The engine will speed up a bit when it picks up speed backing off, but let it go. Be straight with the ramps, and let the transmission catch it coming off. So, when you go to back it off, do it at an idle, in low range. Do know when you do that, going into a free wheel, and brake catching can turn you sideways on those ramps in a split second. Seeing it pulled on makes me rather shudder, thinking you'll have a tendency to try and slow it down, with the brakes when backing it off. And., also be aware that when you push the brake down part was, it kicks the track out of gear, and it will free wheel, if you don't catch it by pushing it down until the brake catches it. If you just touch the brake, it will make the ball in the expander crawl up to the full braking position. Usually fine dirt, and/or rust gets in the brake chambers. They are dry brakes, and after a while of non use, they can grab. You can also do a soft turn, putting one track in either low, or high, and the other in neutral. The only reason it was ever shifted to high, was to tram a long distance, and that was in the low side of the console shifters. 99.9% of the time, it was operated in the low side, if I remember correctly as back. There is also a high and low shift, of the main transmission, using a lever coming up through the floor board. You can do a power turn, by placing one of the tall levers in low, and the other in high. Full back, low range, forward one notch, neutral, full forward high range. The 2 tall ones are separate controls for each track. If it's like all I've seen, & operated, the should be 3 levers on the center console.
