Bobcat 753 problem steering in reverse left hand side only

Hi Guys, Just picked up a bobcat 753, seems pretty healthy for the hours blows no smoke, travels straight when going forward and has plenty pushing power however when reversing the left hand side lacks power and its a bit of a pain. Any ideas? I would assume seeing as it travels forward fine that it shouldn't be a pump or motor issue? Here's a picture, take no notice of stickers.

    i'd check the steering linkage on that side.. compare the travel to the other side. raise the boom, install the boom stop, raise the cab, and with the engine off and visually look at the lever throw in both directions
