rI have an old TORO 826 that runs great after 30 years. But this past year it started acting up. When I put it in reverse, it sometimes hesitates then makes a loud fast-paced banging noise before having the reverse engage fully. I removed the back shroud, and think I know what the problem is. I believe that the chain is skipping over thte teeth in the small cog. The tensioner seems like it is tight enough....but what the heck do I know. The problem is sporadic and does not happen all of the time. Just curious if anybody else has had this issue. I have checked the formu discussions and did not read anything about this. If anybody has any suggestions, I would be grateful. ~ Ken
