If you lift it up off the ground with bucket and blade do the tracks move equally forward and back? Mark with marker paint!
it would be so hard to tell ........its very minimal .....but when io took delivery and tracked it top the drive , I had to occasionally make an adjustment to the left as it was very slightly tracking to the right a tiny bit more .....you know like when your car needs its tracking adjusted as it won't steer in a straight Line but only slightly

the tracks are worn unevenly....could this cause it ?
Potentially one track is slightly stretched, or a motor is worn, or a linkage to a valve is slightly worn. Tbh Drain the gear oil out of the drive motor gearboxes and refill, if there is oil in them then happy days and don't worry about it too much. New ones quite often will be exactly the same.

I think on the Kubota k008-3 I read they are sealed

On a serious note get the track dimensions and let me know what they are, I think I've a spare track kicking round here that would fit it if it helps you along.

Well firstly .....thanks for all your replies .....I will work through the various issues ....but today was the second day of cleaning and it went badly ....lol , I could see a load more oily scum between the engine and the back plate , under the engine and also I knew the coolant needed flushing ......so I went to Halfords and bought some coolant , and enough oil for a flush and re fill .....although I only have on oil filter on its way ......I stink of gunk .....the missus frog marched me to the bathroom....I ran out of shower gel ...and used by accident her posh bubble bath .......any way to clean it properly I took it more apart
