Chains Cont.
Adjustment
1. Complete Inspecting Slack and keep the Mudd-Ox raised.
2. Locate all the chain tensioners as shown in Figure-6. Although the rear tensioners (B) look different than the
fronts (A) they adjust in a similar manner. For the (A) tensioners you will need a 3/4” wrench and (B) a 1-1/8”
wrench. It is preferred to also have these respected sizes on a ratcheting socket for quick adjustment, although
not necessary.
3. The chain tensioner has two nuts. In Figure-11, “E” is the lower is a jam nut and “D” adjusts the tensioner up/
down. Loosen the jam nut.

4. Now you can adjust the chains (Figure-13).
A. More slack than desired: The chains are too loose, so turn the top tensioner nut clockwise.
B. Less slack desired: The chains are too tight, so turn the top tensioner nut counterclockwise.
5. After the adjustment, check for slack again.
A. Slack is not desired: Repeat step #4.
B. Slack is desired: Move to step #6.
6. Once adequate tension is achieved, tighten the jam nut. Repeat steps #3-5 above for remaining chains. Note: If
the chain adjuster is at its maximum level of adjustment and the chain is still too loose, it’s time to replace the
chain. See Removal.
7. Safely lower the Mudd-Ox and reinstall any floor boards, seats and engine cover if removed.
