I have pictures of all the damaged parts I replaced. I took them for the person I bought the dozer from. He had represented it to be in good working condition based on the in competent people he had working on it.

He paid for the parts I had to replace… Below is what I found when I dropped the pan

Sad pictures, but it does reinforce the statement:

"A good mechanic isn't expensive, he's priceless."

Are we separating the steering clutch from the brake?

No. They will still operate from the same control arm, but the take-up rate for the brake will be much quicker which will allow the band to be fully relaxed in it's adjusted position, eliminates the need to pre load the arm, and also eliminates the slotted link (which was grossly inadequate IMHO). I could have accomplished the same geometry with rods and bellcranks but this seemed the more expedient method.

All of those pics are taken on the left side. I chose the left side to experiment with because it was easier to access, little hose interferences.

I might add that this system can be adopted to the pendulum pedals as well.
