Usually the orange (brown)are viton &designed for higher heat,they may have determined the black wasn't suitable for temperatures being seenAppears that 2018 got an updated seal on the chaincase outer. The original one in post and this new one are orange and look fatter than mine on my 2017 which is black.

The older Cat tensioner seems fool proof. Has anyone heard of a failure in one of these?
Yes, they had many failures and the reason they went away from it and went manual. Wonder however if we could use the pad instead of the roller, but tack welding the screws will work too.

Neither would I. It looks like someone else tried to put that on a shaft and messed it up. Did the box look to be opened previously?I would not run that.

Those are marks from a spline. That has been on a sled.... That's not a Cat issue that's someone screwing the part up and sending it back.

That looks like dog crap. Send it back. Or at least send them a picture of it, then let them make the call.
Yes if the base metal is distorted it will groove your shaft and it sure looks like it is.

No , the packaging clearly looked original, I would bet it was from factory the way the bubble wrap was .
