Boggie one of us Snow Trac owners went over to BigAls house and pulled his KRISTI up the 2% grade hill he was stuck at the bottom of doing circles. His Kristi looked like a dog chasing its tail. Guess one hydro is working correctly or something embarrasing like that. Anyway the last I saw him was when he was kicking his dog drinking some strange multiple shot drink. He was walking down the driveway talking to himself.
Mike ,
You are closer than you know !!!
Ok here is the latest :
I went out this morning after stealing my wifes make up mirror . After studying the oil port connections for an hour , I decided that I had a hose crossed on the left motor that would not run correctly yesterday. It took me another 1 1/2 hours to reverse the two hoses . The connections are under the hydro drives and there is about 2 " to work in . Most Of it was done using a mirror .
I refilled the oil tank and fired it off . At first nothing happened and then BOTH Motors started working perfectly in
low range ,
in a no load condition . It will spin around on a dime in either direction . I then tried
high range and it works in both motors now but will stop if I
try to turn and then the motors
start to squeal again . I still am starving for oil . Anyway I bailed off the hill thinking I had low range but as soon as I hit the incline and put a demand on the system the
motors started to squeal . I ended up towing the KT7 back up on the flat area and as soon as it hit the level area the
drives started working again . I then left it there for 4 hours and just went out and pulled it into the shop using lo range . It is
running perfect again ,but this is in a
no load situation . ?????
So...
I know damn well it is starving for oil but I just do not know why or where . The oil lines had to be cross cause both motors seem to be working as long as no load is demanded .
Tommorrow morning the hydro guy will be here .
About the only thing I can still do is plumb into the high pressure side of the aux hyd pump that controls the body tilt . But I am sure it was not plumbed that way before .
Ideas ?????
