does neone have one? My dad's is not doing to well right now. Its the chain thats giving us problems. Two or three years ago, my sister kinda hit the side of it with the tractor, and it bent the back axle and broke the bolts holding it on. We got it fixed and now there is a new chain, somehow we broke that too. Now it is way too lose, and we cant seem to tighten it. We did what the manuel sed to do, but that doesnt do it. We need help, so if neone has some info for us we would greatly appreicate it.

Nick.

ps thanks for you time, in advance!

 

Taking a link out of the chain should do it.......considering the chain isn't shot.

 

Or if the sprockets are worn out.

ya, i'll try that, but what tools do i need and if i dont have them, will places like menards have them?
thanks for the help

 

A wrench set rangeing from 8 mm to 17 mm should be what you need. I suggest the same sizes in sockets also.
I believe the four larger axle pivot holding bolts take a 17 mm wrench and the adjuster nuts utilize a 10 mm wrench.

See, we tired that, loosen the four bolts then tighten or loosen the two on the bottom. That didnt work, i think we need to remove a link like you guys sed, but have no clue how to or what is needed to do that. But i will still give it a few more tires before removing a link. By the way which way do you turn the bottom two bolts that actully tighten or loosen the chain? Thanks much

 

Tighten should be out, counter clockwise on the inner nut, on the inside side of the tab. counter clockwise on tha outer lock nut also, to tighten. Note : there should be a nut on both sides of the holding tab, not both nuts on the outside

there could be my main problem, there is only one nut on each of the bolts!!!!!! Thanks soooooo much, i'll run over to menards and pick some up this weekend. thanks again[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]!!!!

 

ok, we found that the bolts are as tight as they can be, so we have to take a link out. On the last try we did something stupid. We hit the towing toung with a sledge, and it broke off. It is still ridable, but cant tow nething. Man, i feel stupid sometimes, lol!
