1994 753 Bobcat..When I push the right hand control arm forward, it must be push all the way to get the machine to go. When I pull it back there is no problem with the machine moving..Sometimes while pushing if forward it will like catch and jerk the machine. Is this a bad part or is it more likely some kind of adjustment I need to do? Thanks in advance for your help..Oh their is plenty of fluid in the reservoir.

I'd suspect an issue with motor seals, if you swap motors from side to side you can confirm it's a motor or pump issue.
Seals do go bad in the drive motors, i had one that had no power either direction, the Orings inside had turned to powder. $5 in Orings, and it was like new. If any of the fancy plastic seals go, you will need a seal kit and not just Orings.

Just wondering if you were able to repair this and what the problem was. I have the exact same issue with my 753. The right side drive is sluggish and choppy in forward, but works fine in reverse.

Thanks
