Forklift only goes slow

When the accelerator is pressed the forklift moves but the drive tire on the left side is dragging. It is also showing code 079. I can see both brake discs turning. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I blocked the forklift up off the drive wheels and when the accelerator is pressed the right tire goes normal speed but the left tire barely moves. Thank you for any help.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
