Thank you. I did Jack up the machine and none of the tires spun but the back left. I was looking at the cain case and trying to decide if I want to tackle it or drop it off to get fixed. (Trying to decide if I want to be a cheap ass and do it myself or just have it fixed).Not much else it could be. It may have slipped the sprocket due to stretched chain or worn sprocket.
Put the whole machine on jack stands and run it. That axle will not spin if the chain is gone.
You could also open access to the chain case and look ( you may need a mirror to look into the back). The oil does not cover the tops of the sprockets, only about halfway up.

In my experience, rear axle chains and sprockets can only be accessed by dropping the entire drive train. Not super hard to do, just very time consuming and you need a lot of stands and blocks unless you are lucky enough to have a large gantry to lift the frame off.Thank you.

Thank you for the help. i think i know what direction im going with this. does the machine have 4 chains or just two. do you happen to remember what it cost to do the jobIn my experience, rear axle chains and sprockets can only be accessed by dropping the entire drive train.

The last one I did had to be done on a not so level gravel parking area. Having an entire frame with engine and pump sitting on stands and blocks 3 feet in the air is nerve racking.
There are 4 chains.Thank you for the help. i think i know what direction im going with this. does the machine have 4 chains or just two. do you happen to remember what it cost to do the job
