Drum brakes in older vehicles worked the same way. When you applied the brakes in reverse, the shoes shifted against a tensioning dog that turned a cog and lengthened the distance between the shoes. That moved them closer to the drum. The result was that the same brake pedal travel applied more pressure through the shoes onto the drum… I didn’t explain it well but… if you ever do a brake job on one of them it’s simplicity is apparent! My guess is that those Cat brakes were modeled after the automotive brakes if their day… Interesting!
No that was a good explanation. I have a 1964 Ford Galaxy 500 that is like that. I hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving. Don’t work your grandson too hard.
If it’s hilly I would look at other options. 1st thru 3rd pretty strong, 4th thru 6th is weak. The Dt466 can be turned up and that may do the trick. I haven’t done that to mine but considering it.
I replaced the electronic dash with manual gauges and in doing so I found the hour meter unplugged. It had 5000 hrs on meter. I’m thinking 7-8000 total.

Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving. Be looking for the update to see if that resolved your issue. Interesting.

How good does that 4900 pull that dozer? Pretty hilly where I'm at looking to get a truck

What if it don't turn left or right it only go forward what that mean anyone?
Sounds like the linkage may be the problem. Did you try tightening the brakes?
Brakes! Who needs them? I guess you might need them from time to time on that plane though. Enjoyed the video...
Don’t use them much on the dozer. The plane is a must have though! Thanks!!
I got a 650G with similar issues
How many hours does yours have
Still looks good.

@@planeanddirtsimple yeah I'm doing the same thing I'm putting manual gauges on my dozer.
👍👍👍👍
Same procedure for aircraft....hope y’all have a Happy Thanksgiving!! Don’t eat too many cookies!
