Z-Force 50 hydrostat problems

I just bought a 2007, Z-force 50. The motor starts okay but the left hydrostat seems very week compared to the right. The mower will turn to the left all day but really struggles to turn to the right. I have a new hydrostat belt ordered. Last weekend I replaced both hydraulic filters and drained the old hydraulic fluid. The old fluid was a nasty milky, chunky color so who knows the last time it was changed. I added new hydraulic fluid, 20w-50, tried to bleed the system by driving forward and reverse several times but the left side hydrostat still barely moves. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
