GEHL RS5-19 Crab Walk Issue

Working on a GEHL RS5-19 telehandler. While operating in normal 2-wheel (front) steering, the unit will go into 'crab-walk' mode on its own. The steering solenoids are new. Hydraulic fluid was clean but flushed and replaced anyway. It's intermittent and doesn't seem to change with temperature, driving surface, or anything else. It just happens randomly. Anyone have an idea? Thank you!
