how to make machine drive straight

[dave phelps]

Weight distribution in machine? Is it heavier on one side than the other thus creating a different smaller effective tire diameter on the heavy side?

Driving on a hillside?

I assume you are driving on a uniform surface such that the rolling resistance is equal on both sides.

I think we have a bent frame that goes along with a scar on his 5 head!! LOLOL

bent frame causing camber in one tire ( top of tire leans in or out... think leaning into the turn on a bike). chains wouldn't do it. T-20 adjustment/ worn band slipping. brake dragging on one side

Oh crap!! I think you've hit the nail on the head here Brian. fronts have a slight lean to them!!
Thanks man!!

Ok guys besides tire circumference whats the next few things to check to make a machine track straight so you dont have to feather the sticks so much?? chain deflection maybe?? Thanks in advance
Have one machine that we just cant get goin straight!!
