[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 23312, member: 82"] The chain wasn't that loose to allow me to remove a link, it would only slap the chain case every so often, i sold the machine 3 or so years back, so its not my problem anyway :) The bobcat system seems to work just fine, i think the earlier systems had the reduction box sitting down lower than the current system, the sag of the chain was pretty close to the bottom. Any stretch and it could touch. They did put plastic or steel guides in there too to prevent it making the noises, didn't remove any slack though. I'd rather a tight chain so you get more feeling with the controls rather than the delay as slack is taken up, it would be easier on the sprockets and chain too I'd suspect. [/QUOTE]
