Default chain/swing arm problem

when i first bought this quad it had no chain on it, half of the left side of the swing was grinded away from the chain sliding on it, it had no swingarm bearing on the left side so i sat and filled and filled with the welder until it was nice and round and the swing arm bearing fits it well no with some dye grinding so evrything is strong no play in the rear where i used to be able to move the quad back and forth 2 inches from all the play in the swing arm now its solid but i still have the chain issue where its grinding on the swing arm there is a roller but A it is to close to the frame so the chaing can not fit between the 2. So i grinded it down put the chain on it and the chain just keeps falling off and also i just bought a brand new chain for it and it was to short to go over the roller so i extended it but im assuming that it shouldnt go over the roller (when i say roller to me it looks like 1 but may not be its bolted piece of round rubber that spins freely). so im thinking maybe the way the suspension is or something?? the quad sits as high if not a little higher in the back as my friends kfx700

Make guides out of Hi Density Polyethelene. I use these on a dirt bike years ago and they saved all sorts of danage. Never wore them out either.

ok i have figured it out there is a spot to put a chain roller about 1/4 of the way down the swing arm but there was another roller located on the frame which was like a decoy throwing me off cuz i kept trying to put the chain over it ill upload pics in a day or 2

ok so after about a week or 2 of riding every day pretty much all day the chain roller lasted maybe a week and the chain has been eating the swing arm and the master link keeps falling apart and leaving me stranded ive been through like 4 links so any ways will to chain guides wear less then the roller. i thought that the roller would hold up alot better then it did
