Troubleshooting a Locked Right Track on IHI CL35 Loader

Question:

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.

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.
