Thx

Copy ice. When I get back home I will snap a photo. I estimate .5 mm taking off. I think I have heard of failures around this area. So I want to keep close track of what's going on.

tossed in that picture of drive

so you could see the gap . if i could get some opinions on whether i should start thinking about replacing those nylon arms . i replaced a couple cables already that had a few frayed strands of wire . hopefully the other pictures can give you an idea of what i was referring to . maybe it is a minor concern ? or as i had mentioned before , like trying to slow the process down with tape?

Whoa nelly!!!!! Look at that gap on those drums! A gap that big on your drums is like having a real bad front wheel alignment on your car. Your tires are not going to wear evenly. Replace the drums ASAP!

drums are $16.50 a piece, I am guessing those saw an extended period of loose chains/cables at one time.

copy that

it is pretty obvious in picture. at least 1 mm gap. and of course noticeable slop in drive mechanism .that might be why i am having contact on side of drive bay. my drive is a 2010 and i think i did not lube the shaft until recently. when i took the yak out , it would be for long hours on water . i probably should have broken it down and lube it more often . i might just pick up a new drive and then start rebuilding this one as a backup . anyone else have any opinions ?
