Both wheels pull forward OK and evenly. Left side barely pulls in reverse. Not enough to pull machine in reverse. Oil reservoir level is correct. Machine is about 10 years old. I'm hoping this can be corrected by a simple adjustment. Have not been able to find a shop manual to download. Comments, experiences, and recommendations appreciated.

It helps us help you when you provide the product information label information off of the machine.
Make sure the mounting bolts for the transmission to the chassis are tight on the left side drive unit.
Are the operator handles even with each other?

Very doubtful a “simple adjustment” will do anything. How many hours? What type of transaxles ? Has oil/filter ever been changed on hydros?
Problem Solved, two transmission mounting bolts missing. The other two were loose. I corrected all. Now machine operates as it should. You saved my bacon. Thank you vwey much!!
