Thread: Chain tensioner

    Chain tensioner

    Sitting here contemplating chain tensioners for the Hustler and am wondering if a re-purposed serpentine belt tensioner would work. Two of them per chain, one on top and one on the bottom of each chain.

    Really only need one. Run it on the Slack (Cost) side of the chain.
    If you can fit it I would think it would be Great ! There Spring loadid and all you need to do is make a nylon wheel or a sprocket !!

    What's the consensus on "snap idle" tensioners? Do they work in this 6x6 application?
