I just bought a Bobcat 753 a week ago. I didn't pay much for it because of the right drive motor issue. I bought the o-ring kit from Loader parts source and everything went well. Right drive motor works now. My issue is when I push the right stick forward, it activates both drive motors evenly and goes straight. I just use the left stick to steer either way. Reverse acts the same. If I push only the left stick forward it goes straight forward as well and use the right stick to steer. Reverse works the same. If I push both sticks forward it goes straight but seems to fight me getting there. Shouldn't each drive motor be separate from each other like my zero turn? Is there maybe a bypass that is activating?
A little history. It has over 6000 hours. Hydraulic fluid had water and was white. I drained all I could when changing drive motor seals. Bought extra hydraulic fluid to flush out again very soon. I did not change case filters or the main hydraulic filter yet but have them in today. Could one of the case filters be plugged up from the o-rings from the right drive motor? The o-rings were almost gone so I know they are in a filter somewhere. Maybe the one under the tank. Thanks in advance for any ideas on what is going on.
