743 steering

[antfarmer2]

I rebuilt the the whole chaincase, gear reduction, bearings, seals and steering pucks ajusted the creep out but have to hold the right stick back a bit to go straight forward but goes back striaght how do you ajust this?

If the steering levers are not bottoming out on the plate that the sticks go through, you can't adjust it.
I had a 743 that did this, it took long runs for it to be noticible, but over 20 or so metres, it would make a slight arc. It's just drive motor/pump wear, if the power is still there, you will just need to compensate. It only needs to be slightly slower or faster than the other side for it to do it.
Ensure you tyres are the same size too, if they are more worn on one side, it will go slower.

You really should try and keep them the same size on each side. If they are different sizes, they fight against each other. Not a big deal on dirt, but concrete or any other sticky surface, and they can nail your chains.

Thank you Tazza they are all the same size but one is a bit newer will change sides with that one and see what happens when I rebuilt I put on new chains also only play in the dirt would it be better to put the one tire in the front or back?

I tend to keep my tires as even as possible but if I have some better than the others they go on the front.

Thanks Frog I put the newer tire on the other side on the back still pulls the same will put on the front but looks like I will just have to live with it
