Gehl 5625SL Right Turn issues – Help Please?

GeorgiaBoy1969 ยท 2017-01-05 15:16

Just bought a Gehl 5625SL with 2,400 original hours on it, the engine runs great. When you accelerate and make a right turn, the right hand side of the machine slows down until you reduce to a much lower speed. It makes a grinding noise and jerking action. Have taken out the hydraulic pump and the planetary, they both look great, no signs of any wear and tear at all; the chains and sprockets look good. Appreciate any advice anyone could give me! Thanks!

    T-bar or hand and foot control?

    It is a T bar. Appreciate any help! Thanks!

    My 6635 manual seems to indicate that the T-bars don't have adjustment but for some reason your description makes me think the machine is getting bound up because of bad T-bar alignment.

    If the linkage is loose it will do some bouncing like you've said

    Thank you both, appreciate the direction!

    Good to know - I will hopefully have mine started this weeks so we can move onto diagnosing whatever could be wrong with the T-bar and drive.

    What fluid are you running? Because its only the right side I doubt the fluid matters - but worth looking at.
