NE Snowblower

So my hydraulic snowblower chute (MXSB-56) stopped working today. The gear sprocket that turns the chute was still spinning, but the issue turned out to be the sprocket lowered itself from the rotating ring, so the teeth were not meeting each other. Does anyone know if this supposed to happen or is this a sign the hydraulic motor maybe on its way out. I was able to take a screwdriver and lift the sprocket back up to engage the ring, but not sure if this temporary fix or if it's a sign the motor which the sprocket is connected to is failing. Thanks
