I have a RamRod 1150 tracked model that the right drive change keeps breaking on me. I have replaced the entire chain and installed a new master link, adjusted the chain and it still will tighten up and pop when driving straight. The problem came on slowly over time. It seems like the left and right side are out of time (one is spinning faster than the other) although I have not jacked it up off the ground to check that. When I drive forward my left side controller is all the way forward and my right side is only about half and that seems to keep the popping noise from the chain from happening. I do have a slight hydraulic leak at the controls but nothing at the drive motors. I have had this machine for about 15 years and it is only the right side that started doing this about 5 years ago. Looking for any ideas to fix this issue.
