My Bobcat 743 makes a gravelly, scraping sound when driving down the road. Parking brake is off. Its not the best description but it can't be normal. Any ideas??

First thought is axle bearings gone bad.

You can put the machine on stands and see how much play each axle has. It should be very little to none.

Could you make a audio file or video? Could be so many things, Axle bearings, chain, brake discs, etc.
