What procedure are you using to turn left when going down hill? The steering is backwords going down hill. To turn left you release the right clutch.

That technique of pulling the opposite side steering clutch only works if you have a load pushing you or the downhill is very steep.
Might check that there is not oil collected in the steering clutch compartment so the brake drum is oily. The compartment can be flushed with solvent to remove accumlated sludge and then filled with enough solvent to clean the drum as the tractor is driven forward and back while applying the brakes lightly. if that does not work and there is no more adjustment, then the final drive must come off to replace brake lining.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
