Did you report them? For the Stolen beams

Our load securing uses ratchet dogs and chain for steel transport.

Just average wear and tear for age. Geroler motors tend not to seal up 100% static in anything but new condition, add a bit of leakage over valve plates, through makeup/charge checks and they can creep, ........ without significant effect to operating performance. Some use a proper effective braking system to overcome this, JD's and a few others from memory.

Old (pre hydrostatic) mechanical clutch drive Bobcats could be pushed along on the flat, had to order it with optional park brake if you wanted to work in the hills....
