I have a Komatsu D31A-3 SN 6713 the machine turns perfect with the steer handles however when the brake pedals , right or left are depressed the machine continues to track forward, pushed hard enough it will stall the machine. Base on this stalling I believe the brake linings are I have also checked the adjustments for the brakes and they are within the recomended setting. My question is. Are the foot brakes supposed to stop or turn the machine without pulling the steer handle since the only way the drive is suspended on either side to allow turning is to pull a steer handle. without the drive being interrupted on the side you are braking the machine wants to drive forward fighting or opposing the braking action. What am I not seeing in the linkage or not understanding here?
