I recently received a 2010 IHI CL35 with a locked right track. The loader functions correctly, and the left track moves smoothly. I noticed that the park brake light turns off with the seat bar engaged. However, the right track only moves slightly between forward and reverse gears. Before diving into the drive motor, I'm curious if anyone familiar with these units has any troubleshooting tips to share. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
What is the level of shine of the gear oil in the defective unit? Explore the quality and appearance of the lubricant to identify potential issues.
Yes, it was indeed sparkly! The issue turned out to be a faulty bearing within the planetary housing, causing the bearing balls to become trapped in the planetary gears.
Answer: 1. Q: What could be causing the right track on an IHI CL35 Loader to be locked? There could be various reasons causing the right track to be locked, such as issues with the drive motor, hydraulic system, or mechanical components.
Answer: Before diving into the drive motor, you can start by checking the hydraulic system, inspecting mechanical components, and ensuring proper engagement of the park brake and seat bar.
Answer: The interaction between the park brake light and seat bar engagement could be a safety feature designed to indicate that the seat bar is properly engaged for safe operation.
Answer: Yes, drive motor issues such as electrical faults, mechanical failures, or lack of proper lubrication can contribute to a locked track on the loader.
Answer: If the right track movement is limited, it could indicate a problem with the drive system, and further troubleshooting and inspection are recommended to identify and address
