all most to embarrassing to ask

My D4 7U does the same thing LOL and thats the way they turn your good to go. Someone with more knowledge can tell you more in depth how that works but yours is working as designed.👽

OK Lol thank you I have been around a lot of old equipment except a cat so just wanted to make sure that was correct the man I bought it from never used it or even start it butt had the nerve when I arrived to load it how I was going to load it and said well I'm going to get it started and drive it on and he replied looking I'm sure that I'm young and have long hair said do you even know how Lol well I checked for spark put some gas in hand primed fuel pump chocked it twice third pull on crank it sat there and ran Lol should have seen his face it took me bit to figure out how to steer it but I drove it right on to the trailer

And if you ever are being pushed by a load or going down a steep slope, when you pull a steering clutch, the load may push the tractor around toward the opposite side. In that case, you can use that to your advantage to make the turn in the direction you want, or just pull the usual clutch like you do on flat ground and use the brake extra heavy.

Someone else just asked this a month or two ago and one of the replies had a section of the operation manual of a tractor scanned in?
It better explains the issue of going up and down hill and/or towing a load.
Two cases where the foot brake is not necessary.
Typically going down hill you would pull the opposite lever for slight turning corrections as the weight pushing you will speed up the normally dead(non-powered) track.
Clear as Mud? 👍

Makes complete sense I wondered if that's how it worked so if you are to pull back on both clutches at the same time you should be able to stop all movement of the machine correct?
