Title: Finally picked up my OC-4 today - steering question
Post by: Ed Miller on February 02, 2008, 03:26:28 AM
I picked up my Uncles old OC-4 with the backhoe and loader.  To all who helped me before with my loader question - thanks.  It worked fine when I forcefully operated  the front actuator valve.   I noticed that when I was manuveuring the unit out of the garage and onto the trailer that the steering was very unresponsive.  I had to pull the levers all the way back to the stop to get the machine to turn.  The instructions in my operator's manual  talk about ajdusting the steering lever pawls so they drop into the foruth notch.  I'm not sure what this means since I haven't looked at the unit yet.  It's dark and rainy now and the unit is still on the trailer down the road.   Does this adjustment apply to my "spot turn".  Where should the steering levers  start to engage.

Thanks
Ed
Title: adjustment

The steering band adjusters are located below the seat on both sides . Turn the nuts in until the pawls will go into the third notch. More than likely you will need to have the steering band relined . It is a fairly easy job ,just remove the back cover to acess them .
