I'm getting an intermittent winding or squeeling...I am so green...

Caught the darn seat belt in the chains the other day...In 40 years, I can't be the only person to have done that, right?

I think there are a lot of chewed up seat belts out there.

For the squealing, does it do it only when you turn, only when you use the foot brake, etc? My first instinct is to say it is a bearing going bad but that would just be a wild guess at this point.

seems to be while turning, but I'm not so sure I don't have on takeoff, letoff. I need to run it more.

i'm gonna go with dry inner bushings. try spraying some penetrating oil on the inner end of the axles and see if that helps

The first time I ever was in a Max II it happened, haha.

I think I have my answer. Heard the squealing noise on takeoff. Heard the clunk a little later, pretty much put it away & the left rear bearing is shot, blown out & open. Haven't investigated much further!
