85XT Hydrostatic Problem

[Toolman]

I am new to this site and to owning skid steers. I bought an 85XT at auction. Moving the right control arm forward and backwards provides very little movement compared to the left side. It is weak but if I use more throttle it works a little better. Somehow I can still move forward in a straight line. Don't know if this is a motor or pump issue. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.

Could even be the servo for the right side pump that's not working right.

hey Toolman, Our 85XT just started doing the exact same thing as your is. did you find out what was causing the problem? I don't have the flow meter, and multiple gauges the book says to use to diagnose.
