case 70xt right side drive intermittent movement

[lfaulstick]

Hi, I have a case 70xt i am having an issue with the right side drive it will drive fine forward for a few moments then if you let of or turn the lever gets real hard almost like linkage is jamb. But you can go backwards no issues, then wait a few seconds and you can go back forward again no problems until you let off the control. everything else is working as normal. i have had the arm solenoid go bad a few times where it blows interlock fuse. but never this issue. Please help me

I wonder if there is some sort of servo that is used on the steering linkages that is running slowly, causing it to be tight?
Sadly i don't know this machine, hopefully another member will have ideas for you.

After an hour or so and some phone calls...found out the issue...a nylon bushing had wore out...and shaft was moving a little bit and the shaft also was binding. Got everything lubed up and put back together... And it ran fine for 30-40 min..because that's all I tried it I will know more tomorrow have few hour job with it in morning.

Glad you found it, odd that the wear caused binding but don't argue that it's now fixed
