[QUOTE="frank b, post: 77698, member: 2812"] I have a JD170, same machine as the JD24. I will roll freely if there is no “input” from the joysticks. When you move the sticks you engage the clutches forward or reverse. There's two clutch pack per side. One each for forward and reverse. There's a long chain and sprockets on each side inside the hydraulic tanks so they are lubricated. There is nothing to lock it or stop it if your not engaging the clutches. Your machine is acting as it should for a direct drive machine, versus a hydrostatic, and your doing it right, your have to push one forward and the other back to turn it, or at least one just enough to create resistance. Only pushing one will cause the machine to go straight until there's resistance from the other side. It sounds like the engine is not strong enough to stay running when there's a load on it, like when you try to turn. Are you running the engine at low or high rpm? Mine was the ame way when I bought it, the engine was not running properly, after a tune up and some carb work it was better. Focus on the engine. [/QUOTE]
