Mine is one of the early 2012 models without the limiting flange on the bevel box drive gear. All models shipped out with the belt creeping away from the gear with about 1/4 inch hanging over air. All well and good if stable but mine decided to travel. Now the belt was hitting the frame on the back of it and taking rubber off in a minor way.
Mind now, the bevel box is directly attached to the frame and any and all noises will be transmitted. Minor design boo-boo.
We are all experimental subjects! Please remember this! And have funwhen driving said units about!
