Dear All,
I have one old unit caterpillar, right now, we facing a big problem with steering and brake.
Steering to the left, is working normal and easy, but steering to the right, its very hard. And also there is no brake.
we tried to adjust the brake, but still nothing change.
Can any one help me please,

Thank you

i do not have any service documentation on this model but the program i use does have the parts breakdowns. Not going to be very helpful like a hydraulic schematic would be.
But from the symptom you describe and looking at the components in the steering system your problem can only be in a couple places.

- The steering wheel orbitrol valve (located at the base of the steering wheel shaft)
- The steering cylinder at the steer axle (located at the rear of the truck on the steer axle)
- the steering priority valve (mounted on the inside frame of the truck somewhere near the hydraulic tank)

I am assuming the location of the priority valve, you will just have to trace the steering lines to locate it.

Good luck, maybe someone has a 'hard copy' of a service manual and can send you the hydraulic diagram.
