2720SL Front Pullout Question

[Joesplace]

Was cleaning 2720SL today and noticed under the front pull-out, the rollers and digging into the sheet metal - see attached pic. And yes, all 3 rollers are doing this - is this normal, common or should I try to fix??

Thanks - Joe

Have you tried lubricating the rollers? Looks like they are sliding, rather than rolling.

I can't answer your question Joe but I'll move my TM out of the garage one day this weekend if you want to come over and look at it for any coparisons.

I just looked at mine, not digging in, just leaving a dirt trail. the center looks like new the outer rollers are dirty now I know to clean them up . But I only have marks no wear grooves

Thanks everybody - think I found the problem - refer to attached pic. The bottom bracket is bent down about 5/16" on both sides. That allows the front slide to press harder on the rollers as you pull it out or push it in. Guess I'll straighten and weld a small shelf under it to stop this from happening again . . .
