I have a 2001 bobcat 773 turbo skid steer that seems to bind on the r/s when going forward, I have rebuilt the entire r/s drive system with new bearings seals and chains but it is still doing the same thing. It seems to jump and jerk on the r/s when you start moving forward. anybody have this issue? any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Do you have slack in the chains on the RH side? Or do you have manual drive and the neutral plate hardware is worn out.
 
Low hours 1500 I've tried adjusting the linkage on top of the pump and didn't notice any wear but I'll have to pull it apart and inspect it. Like I said Chains are new.

How did you try to adjust the linkage? There is only one way, if you do it wrong the machine will either creep or maybe even not drive at all. I do not think that you stroked the swash plate completely otherwise you would have issues starting the machine
