My Caterpillar 277b serial number MDH 04693 won’t move. Yesterday it made a clanking noise from the area of the right drive motor and balked at moving. It eventually moved and I used it for an hour without a problem. Today it stopped and started and eventually stopped altogether. The hydraulics for the bucket still work. Now there is hydraulic fluid leaking from the right drive motor and I found a small piece of curly q (about an inch long) on the track under the motor. The sprocket bearing is pretty new and it wasn’t hot. There was no screeching noises.
Does the other side pull
At first the other side moved but now there is no movement.
Turns out the drive motor is toast.
