PC200-8 drive issue

southernman13 · 2024-02-21 05:55

My 200 is weak on one side when driving. Going straight its not hardly noticeable. It will track slightly one way or the other if both sticks are pegged. If turning either way is where it has weakness. Has 7300 ish hrs and everything else seems fine. No grinding or strange noises. It’s been happening for a while. Just finally realizing there is an issue. Haven’t checked anything yet. Was gonna inspect/change out the final drive fluid first. Then I have no idea where to go. Seems like pressure issue. Any ideas? Thanks

    JohnC did a great job showing you how to navigate the monitor. Once you're in there you can monitor your pump pressures and your pilot pressures to the functions. It'll give you an idea which to look at. Aside from that, check your return filter well, looking for gold glitter. If no debris, that's a good thing. Find merge/divide in display, observe whether or not the value changes when you come out of straight travel in to a turn.
