What I've done:
1. Added fluid to left hydro and purged. Before adding fluid the level was extremely low. I have not noticed any leaks and the fluid level has not dropped since I added fluid.
2. Lifted rear wheels off ground and checked forward and backward both with blades engaged and without. Works fine.
3. Checked tracking. Both sides seem OK.
Problem: With or without blades engaged left side does not keep up with right. With handle all the way forward or all the way back, left wheel does not turn. Can get left wheel to turn forward or backward (but very slowly) if I don't push/pull handle all the way to stop position. Was getting a squealing noise from left side but that seems to have gone away. I'm thinking the drive belt may be slipping under load but can't understand why it would only affect left side.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
