Steering, brake fade
Hey folks just looking for some suggestions regarding the braking and steering. When I am out and about the steering is perfect when I first start, but even after a few turns on the roads I am finding that the brakes are less and less effective, and by the time I get back home my brakes steering is negligible.
My linkages are all setup and I believe the clearance from the shoe to the drum is ok... With the brakes off I can step on the track below the sprocket and the drum turns without it binding.
My situation cannot be normal as the machines would be useless before even getting to the battlefield.... And they went on long runs !
