[QUOTE="dirtyb115, post: 7985, member: 1004"] Update. Well i went out to work on it yesterday. I took the right side wheels off, and then an access plate on the side. To my surprise the chain was not broken or kinked. It was however extremely tight. So i took a flashlight and saw a chunk of metal in between the chain and sprocket on the rear wheel. I was able to loossen tension on the chain with an ajuster plate, which gave enough slack to get the chain moving again. Of course the metal dropped back into the oil, so looks like ill be replacing the drive oil this week, but at least it is moving again. When i was adjusting the chain tension, i noticed that one of the 3 bolts holding the bracket was missing, so im pretty sure that bolt head dropped into the tank and caused the problem. I was so happy i could move it again, i forgot to get the serial number. More to come. BTW, how tight should the chains be? [/QUOTE]
