slack track and removal

[Michael R.]

A link represents 1.75 inch. If both of your track adjuster wheels are in the fully forward position, leaving no room what-so-ever to tighten the tracks, back them off fully. Their travel represents greater than one full link.

If you can break both tracks into at least three sections, more may be necessary . . . then swap them about between a portion from the left with the right until they measure within one inch overall length laying flat and pulled tight. You may be able to address the 165-164 imbalance you currently have.

If I were in your boots, I would place the track adjuster bracket fully to the rear, and remove three links per side. You will likely need a track jack type tool to reattach the track, but you will be good to go for a few more miles before the correct four inch sag appears between the return roller and sprocket.

Now you will also have greater than one track link adjustment to play with.
