Tucker Steel Track Adjustment Question

I am looking for advice on adjusting the track of my 443-A..On level ground or powder it runs great but under tension like an uphill climb or downhill slope the outside of the track wants to pop and hang up momentarily like its trying to jump the sprocket. Track tension is right and alignment is good. I’m thinking its a roller or sprocket problem. Everything including the pin rollers move freely and all links look right. It is the only track that has this problem. All advice and possible troubleshooting suggestions welcome..TIA

Sounds like something going on with the drive sprocket to chain pitch, could it be link pins/link holes to sloppy. Or mine did that when the track roller flanges were worn down on some rollers and they would try to de track then a good one would pop it back on the track. Could also be rails worn out, causing the same problem. When I first got it, I found the rails adjusted in a parallelogram, was likely what caused the worn flanges, as it was trying to steer the rollers one way. Im sure some others with experience will chime in also.
