Hello,
Question 1.
My 955H does NOT turn left when I push on the brake pedal. It has been adjusted all the way and now I think it is time to replace the linings. Is there an easy way to replace the linings without having to take the fuel tank off and disconnecting all the lines under the seat area? The right brake works fine.

Question 2.
The dashboard pressure gauge for the torque converter is above the 'normal' range and into the high range. What would high torque converter pressure be due to and what can a person do to reduce it?

Thanks
Eldon

Eldon, does the machine stop or keep going when you try to turn?
Will it steer if you push a load with the bucket?
If a clutch release bearing comes apart it will stop when trying to turn.
If it's just a worn brake band it should turn when pushing a load.
If the torque converter doesn't run HOT don't worry about it, just make sure the temp gauge is working.
