Track locked up

I was doing some landscaping at my cabin last week with my 440 & the right side track locked up & won't move. It acts like I have the right brake fully engaged. I lifted up on the top of the track, & it's not tight or binding. What should I look for first? Thanks

Be careful, most of the time, it is in the final drive, and I have broken a bull gear tooth that acted exactly the same. See if you can pry on the sprocket and get any play.

Where should I pry on the sprocket? Do you mean to try & rotate it back & forth? Or side to side? Thanks Bob

Pry it side to side, that will give you an indication if the bearings are loose.

Looked at my 440 real quick before the rain hit. I can see that one tooth on the sprocket is bound against the roller. Can't tell why.
