Well I knew eventually the honeymoon with my ASV 4810 would have to end.
While moving snow tonight (-3) I was just about finished with my last job when the right track quit moving. The Brake is on the left track.
I wiggled and wiggled the controls but to no avail. I drove back for supper and thought I would let it cool down. After supper headed back. Started up. Moved 10 feet and stopped again. Thought OK must be too hot or low on oil. Checked all fluids including planetary oil and its all there. Let it cool for 3 hours and tried again. We can't get it to move a 1/16 of an inch on that side.
The left side will move all day long. The engine bears down when you move the right track lever and the hose stiffens up but it will not move at all. I chipped every bit of ice I could find on it (not much since its parked in a heated shop) and it still does nothing.
My big fear is that the planetary went out which I think is pretty rare so I am hoping someone on here has a better explanation or idea. The sooner the help comes the better. I need this machine running.
thanks,
Lucas
