This is my understanding of it.
There was a flange on one of the drive sprockets that got bent at the end of the day Saturday, and bent just about every match Sunday, causing the tread to come off and bind/tear at itself.

It was a problem getting the power from the output shaft to the ground, not within the gearbox.
