Hi Gents....I'm not alarmed by the problem. Bobcat 442. Pulls slightly right when driving toward the blade (fwd) (maybe 2 ft to the right in 100' of travel) but goes dead straight when "backing up". Anything I should be watching for?
Check the pilot valves that the pedal/levers operate for dirt, it only takes a little bit of dirt/debris to prevent moving the pilot valve spool fully when you operate pedal/lever, and just 1/16" of movement of those spools makes a big difference.
I think that machine has manual travel controls. I believe there are stops on the levers or maybe a piece of linkage is bent. If I remember right you can remove a plate in the floor boards to check it.
I thought my deere had an issue but I noticed the one arm is bent very slightly.
Been gone a bit...thank you so much guys!!! I'll check linkage and control valving!
Steel tracks? Maybe the left track is worn more than the right.
As a matter of fact yes...steel tracks Phil. That would make a difference fwd but not backward?
