I have an Allis H3 dozer that is having problems with the right side track. I recently had the clutch redone on the right side and installed a new seal as it was leaking grease into the clutch housing. Before I redone the clutch the right side would slip when pushing and the track would not move when needed to push heavy loads. Since I redone the clutch and installed the new seal I am still having the same problem. When I get a big load the left side track will continue to roll and dig into the dirt but the right side will stop pushing. sometimes when I am turning and release the left clutch while holding the left brake the right side will work fine and other times the right side will work for a few seconds and then quit turning. I have tried adjusting the clutch with the outside bolt and can not get it to work properly. Any suggestions would be great.

It sounds like the right side steering clutch work was not done correctly. The steering clutch has to be a specified thickness or it will slip. If the frictions are oil soaked it will slip. If the clutch springs are weak or broken it will slip. I do not know the specifics of the H3
