Aloha, I have a 2005 bobcat a300. When I block the machine up and go forward my computer is reading 2 different speeds. The left side is at 30 and the right at 14. It struggled in low gear and bogged the engine down. When I try to travel the steering binds up because of the difference in speeds. I was to told to do a case drain test, and took out hose near filter. Oil poured out of the left side and nothing from the right as soon as the machine was turned on. I was told i needed a new drive motor. Bought a new one and installed it and the problem was worse. Switched both drive motors to the opposite side and problem stayed the same. I really need help. I live on a small island and taking it to a dealer is not an option. I have the diagnostic software but there was nothing that I could find to help me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Have you tried a Hydrostatic Pump Calibration?
I'm not sure if this will fix the problem or not but it may be worth a try.

Thank you. I have tried this but I keep getting codes 39-05 and 39-07 which I believe are joystick codes. When I hook up my diagnostic software it shows that they are centered. I was thinking of trying to reset the pump neutral as well as the solenoid nuetral. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to test pressure from the left and right side to compare. I seen a video where they remove the hose going to drive motor and put a gauge on the pump side. Is there a port that I can use instead. I have a hard time getting fittings and those large hoses would definately give me problems. I have a gauge set and have already taken out M1 and M2 port. Just not sure what the specs and procedures should be. Thank you for your patience.
