So my bushings and rollers were shot. I bought all the parts I needed and a manual. I pressed all the bushings, zerks, shaft seals, and idler pin. All new! Even the tracks. Now when I drive the machine there's a rhythmic bounce going on. ( I have a video but it won't let me upload it. I'll try to upload it later.) The only difference I found were on the tracks. The metal guides are spaced half an inch more on the new tracks then the old ones. I don't know if that affects the drive sprocket, i.e. I need a new one? I was wondering if this has happened to anybody? what part of the system should I be looking at?

Bobcat official everything. Yes, the sprocket is old I didn't think it would do something like this but I guess I should replace it. I've read that sprockets where into the tracks to create a perfect mate.

I changed a set of T110 sprockets for a guy that had more wear left than yours. Did this job with my wifes help in 1 day. Any Questions fire away.
