Re: Chain Drive Question
we have always used chain and never used a chain tensioner. This year we did not have one drive train problem... usually we have a chain fall off or something once. This year we used 1inch shafts (we kept bending the 1/2 inch shafts) we also used spacer on the shaft so that they can not walk off. below are some pictures.
This is an ok picture of our left side the drills and you can see the spacers.
