Grizz,
I'm sorry that I wasn't able to find a solution for you before you returned it, and I'm willing to assist Eric any way I can. I've done business with Eric before and can attest that he is a stand up guy.
The demographic that purchase these dozer's are almost always first time dozer buyers, and don't really know what to expect. These little dozer's are '60's technology and lack the sophistication of todays machines, which is reflected in the price, but they are an excellent value for the dollar compared to a comparable used machine.
Your expectations of the steering clutch/brake interaction is not unreasonable, however it will not resemble the later oil clutch/brake systems found on domestic machines. I know that once your machine is set up properly you will find it to be a very useful tool, and enjoy operating it.

I'll work on a solution for you when I get off work in a couple of days. Might involve changing the slot length (not a good idea to pre-tension the brake band like someone did), or maybe slightly pre-loading the steering clutch. Let me work on this, meanwhile go have a cool one.

You can make the rod longer (or shorter) with coupling nuts (Available at most hardware stores).

That is the clevis shown in fig.10. Excellent deduction. Shortening that adjustment will bring the pedal higher in the geometry, but won't change the amount of pedal travel.
You're doing good!

Sounds good to me!
I would add that maybe it should be “Pay-Per-View” for non-members, or is that too over the top?

You mean like reading a manual where there is no feedback?
I just noticed I've been reset to “Member”.
Being “Elite” was such a responsibility.

And I have never heard of timing a diesel engine “by ear”, so it would be a new experience for me. Yes, I'm fairly “new to the game” by some standards, but I don't see any qualifications in your profile either. Please provide. I do like that you appear to be a Brit – makes me feel not so alone…

Nice job!
Actually, I'm surprised it stayed engaged as log as it did. Doesn't seem like a lot of room left for the brake, but maybe that's just the shadows.

There should be enough room to do that. However I'm not sure what the interferences are on your tractor – hoses, etc.
