I recently replaced the tracks, sprockets, all rolllers and the idlers are 3 years old. Reason for replacing the left side track adjuster spring broke when in reverse and the chain misaligned on the rear sprocket and spun 4-6 teeth. It still would drive to load on the trailer and take to the repair shop. I got it back and it worked fine for several hours. Then when in reverse and applying the left brake the right track would shudder and jerk. No rocks or anything else and the sprocket and track looks good. Loosened the right track some and it worked fine to finish the job. Took it to the next job and when in reverse without any brakes used it tracks to the right all by itself. It will roll forward and rearward in neutral smooth as pie. When in gear it does not want to move like used to and it feels like something is binding up in the rear end. Any ideas? Thanks, Gary
