cat steering& brake problems-if your machine has steering or brake problems a lot of the time its because the clutches & brakes are coated with grease & dirt.underneath at the bottum of the pots(clutch housing)theres a drain plug-if not put a plugin the drain hole-put 5 gallons diesel in each pot& run your machine for 15-30 minute-run your machine gradually (smoothly)should cure the problem-dont forget to drain the diesel

    Must be old stuff your working on, as the new stuff has brakes and clutches that run in oil. I would think kerosene or mineral spirits would be a better choice than diesel.
