[QUOTE="Halman3985, post: 111166, member: 18750"] Hey Everyone, Please forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to excavators. I own a 130 acre farm with 30 acres of bush and a lot of ditches. Last year, I got a good deal on a Bobcat 334. The excavator worked great and started like a champ any time I used it which wasn't very much. A couple of days ago, I took it out of the barn to use it since we had some fallen trees and needed is to move the big limbs. Anyways, as luck would have it, the right side track will not turn on its own. The left side turns without any issues at all. I removed the bottom plates to see what is going on or if a cable disconnected but all looks well. Anyways, from everything I've read to this point, I think it's the final drive system on the right side of the excavator. However, before I go and take anything apart, does anyone have any other suggestions. The fluid level is fine, it was a little bit and I topped it up but it didn't require much. All my gauges seem to be working fine and i know the sprocket isn't seized since I lifted the right side and was somewhat able to slightly move the track and when I do move the excavator using the left side, the track does turn just not using the lever. So, am I on the right track (no pun intended), is it the final drive system? Cheers, Shawn [/QUOTE]
