Bobcat 753 will only turn right - no left turn.

[docperio44]

Hi All - corona time is turning into fix Bobcat time. I have a 753 for house projects. It only turns right... so the right side won't go forward well but goes back perfectly. Left side will go forward perfectly but not back. If i try and spin it left, it doesn't move. Occasionally if you push back and forth, it will kick in a jerk forward for a second but doesn't stay engaged. This has been posted about a few times in different ways but i wanted to be clear on the path forward to diagnosis. Linkages were adjusted and are good with no change. I'm wondering if I need to head straight to the drive motor? (would it be the left one?). or potentially something else? relief valve? thanks to all!

I'd pull the drive motor and check for damage and replace the seals. Ensure the shuttle valve is free to move.
You can even swap motors to see if the issue moves from side to side to save opening the motor if it's not a fault/.

Doing that today. I'm 99% sure that's the issue. Thanks
