I have a Cat 315AL Serial Number 6YM02363 that has tracking issues along with a few other issues that may or may not all be related, so I will list them all.
When I bought the machine last month I knew it had track issues. It would barely creep forward/backward. Any incline at all and it would stop. Would not turn at all.
Learned that the 315's have had this issue and the fix was to repack the swivel. Did that. It now tracks faster/better, but still no turning and inclines slow it down some.
All boom features work fine. Pump has enough pressure to pick up the machine if the boom is forced down.
Here is a basic rundown of the issues.
* Must engage gauge tracks some to get machine to swivel. If trying to swivel otherwise machine bogs slightly and no swivel.
* When tracking forward and engine speed in auto it will move forward and engine will raise speed. When going in reverse engine will go back down to idle.
* Have the pump control in auto.
* Engine speed does not raise at all when trying to do boom functions. Only when tracking.
* Track speed switch does not make a difference in track speed.
