Need Help- SWZT52- Right wheel not pulling correctly seems?

The Scag SWZT-52 only has approx. 50 hrs. on it....but is over 1 yr. old.

SYMPTOMS =Overtime it seems that when starting from a dead stop I have to bump the left control to get it going.....seems the right wheel doesn't want to go like it used to. This used to be mainly while on an incline, but I'm seeing it more and more on more level ground. Most of the mowing I do with it is on an incline....so now even on level ground getting it to go straight I have to bump the left controls to get it going because it wants to go right more on its own......bumping it left gets it going/moving too. Fluids are all good levels.

I'm assuming that there are some speed or tracking adjustments that need to be made......is this my problem? To me it seems like the right wheel isn't wanting to pull/go as fast as left wheel?

This is the first hydraulic mower and walk behind I've ever owned.....but if someone knows the problem and can explain things for me to check.....I'm pretty mechanically inclined :)

Do I need to do the tracking adjustments in the manual?

Check tires for proper inflation first per manual, then follow directions in manual for tracking adjustments.
