Thanks for the reply, I solved it yesterday afternoon, I basically went through the entire troubleshooting section and found that even after disabling the brakes, the joystick didn't have the proper voltage drop to move forward, so I took the brakes completely apart and a few of the springs were rusty/calcified so I cleaned them up and put it back together and it works great. It took be a little while to get the proper turns on the brakes, but ~4.5 full turns if the bolts is good!
