Looking for advice on diagnosing left side wheel drive failure.
After initial start up in the a.m. went to move machine and nothing on left side except for some whining noise and maybe some grinding.
Not a 100% on the noises since I had ear protection on.
Left stick has some resistance and whining noise but not driving the wheels. Rights side works fine along with boom hydraulics
Removed left inspection cover to look at chains (all looks good)
With all 4 wheels off the ground, Machine off, I can manually turn the left side wheels with some resistance.
It feels as if a sheer pin broke on a sprocket if it had one.
Thanks for any advise on where to start

How hard is it to swap the drive motors side to side? See if the problem moves...
