Traction Front wheel drive not operating

Rancho,
Good luck to you my friend. If I lived closer, I would help you tear it down. It sounds like your life is as busy as mine!:thumbsup:

I was looking through some old post and came across yours. Did you get your front end fixed and if so, where was the break down?

HOLY COW! Did you dig that all out with the tractor? Or are you must moving the spoils?

The CK20S is a real digging machine. :thumbsup:

Josh,

Right now mostly moving spoil, but I did do some leveling in the pool in between weekends. Since Tony put up a picture of what he moved here are a couple more of what has been done total in my back yard.

Google maps of my backyard before I started

Google earth map about halfway through the leveling process

Hole dug to depth, I put the red dot in to show where the tree was in the first picture.


Yes I moved a lot of dirt the first 6 months of this year and now in the last two months have moved as much or more, I figured it is about 110 or more yards for the pool. It was probably around 100 for the leveling (dug out the hill with just the CK20).

Not yet, my friend. We had a very wet year, so I did not get to finish my dirt work. My back yard is a muddy muck right now. Wow you have moved a bunch of dirt. Great job, and keep on digging.

 

[Ranchofla]

Well we been pretty dry which makes the digging a bit tougher. but it is all done but a little scrapping and finishing the spoil move. Here is how I have moved it all so far.





Load the trailer drive around the front and drag it off was the way I started, the pool spoil has to go on an impervious surface, so I built a dirt ramp and off load 1 scoop at a time and dump it on 4 mil plastic...

is it me or the left rear tire of the trailer look crooked ?

these ck20 are tough...

 

[joshuabardwell]

The wheel does look crooked. It looks like it is cambered one way in one pic and then the other way in the other pic.

 

[Ranchofla]

Yes I have bent both axles on the trailer, the back one twice cause I rolled it over to bend it back and over bent it. Too much weight for the 3500# axles, but they will be replaced once all the dirt is moved. Done to about 5 trailer loads left.. yeah...

Worked a little on the front end today, took the front plate holding the axle in place off and could see the gear, but it was not turning, so after the spoil is all moved, i will be taking the axle all the way apart to see what is wrong.
