Hello, I have a Thomas T83 and it has worked perfectly most of the summer for moving/landscaping dirt. Recently the drive on the right side has started ratcheting. Full input it works fine but, with a small amount of input, forward or backward, it pulses and is jerky. The fluid levels are all fine and the filter has been replaced. Any suggestions as to what may be the problem and where to start? PS. I can't believe how little information there is on the net for the T83....It's a great machine. Thanks. Dave

Guessing you striped out a spline or have a drive sprocked with the teeth gone or similar trouble in the drive on that side. Try www.tradebit.com or a thomas dealer for a manual on how these machines work.
Take some pictues and post them here and we maybe able to give some guidance.
