Hey guys I have a 2012 T650 skidsteer, and it worries me because the drive sprockets are tilting outwards. What makes it do that?

    For the drive sprocket to tilt outwards, wouldn't something have to be loose on top side to allow it to move outwards. Is it all cleaned off so a person can check if there is in and out play. Unless the outboard bearing is shot and sprocket is tilting. It would probably be leaking oil unless there is none. Just thinking of simple stuff to check. Have never worked on that model. Maybe someone else will chime in with previous experience. Simon C

    The drive motor mount can bend out and down. Usually not a huge problem, only concern would be possible increased wear. Not sure what causes it, maybe over tensioned tracks are a contributing factor.
