I know you loosen the bolts on idler assembly on sides of machine but not sure if suspending it with a jack will be too tight? should I just jack up the assembly until snug then back off little? what is the procedure? thank you!

Don't use a jack!
There is a adjustment shaft inside to put tension on the chain.
Back off the lock nut a little, tighten the adjustment nut, Lightly snug it.
Then tighten the shaft locking nut.
when you remove the top plates, you'll see right away what I'm talking about.
It's a little tight working inside.

I got busy working on home projects.. and had rebuilt the lift rams.. Now I'm in process of painting cage to put back on. Skid hasn't moved yet so haven't got to it yet- Thanks!
