My 2010 L185 has 1400 hours on it and owner's and shop manual calls for drive chain adjustments/checks every 1000 hours. Both manuals show a spec of 0-1/4" wheel rotation and I've got 3/8" at all 4 wheels. From those in the know, is that 1/8 inch excessive enough to bother with or should I let it go for now?
 
Honestly, 3/8” rotation isn't a lot at all, i'd feel that is fine.

Thank you, Tazza, that's what I was thinking. Plus my machine definitely doesn't suffer from abuse or overuse. I'll check it again this time next year. Seems like many times shop manuals have to err on the side of worst case scenario which is understandable.
