d-17 sticking on one side

[weggej]

I have a series four d-17 I bought a while back and when I go to use it the left side wheel( if you are sitting in the seat) always seems like it is stuck for a while. The right one will spin and dig to take off if in something loose it will start digging a hole. It doesn't want to go in reverse either. Then after dragging the tire a while it will break loose and be fine. Does this sound like a sticking break or is there something else that will cause this. The break pedals are both free and not stuck.

when you're using the tractor and hit the left brake does it hang up then? if so it could be the brake sticking. Try stopping just using the right one and see if it still does it after sitting for awhile.

Self energizing brakes, the ball/plate, is worn, and the ball gets hung up, in the channel, that shouldn't be in the plate. Brake job time is NOW, before it decides to hang up in a low spot, in the farthest corner of your farm!

You have a brake coming apart. With a S-IV it is not something you can wait to fix it will get worse.

thanks to all and by looking at the IT manual it looks like it isn't an easy job either.
