I freed up the brake linkage on the left side. out of curiosity I tried again, this time, the left motor is moving, but slow. Neither motor works in reverse.. The main bottom contactor is also not pulling in, top pulling in in both directions. bottom is doing nothing. I have a spare contactor I will try, unsure of its health.

tried spare contactor, now both contactors pulling in in both forward and reverse, but forward works and reverse does not, also machine is still very slow.
