My drive chain is slipping on my 1973 JDX4. Where can I get some new tensioners?
Thanks,
Dave Flaherty

First off, are you sure? Is it possible the track is loose and it is what's jumping?
We see that here more often.
If the chain is jumping teeth, I'd think it is beacuse the sprockets are shot, and no amount of tensioning will help. You could have a broken or missing spring, the nylon chain tensioners seem to run a long time otherwise.
Take a look.

No, I'm not sure. I will adjust the track and see what happens.400brian wrote: First off, are you sure? Is it possible the track is loose and it is what's jumping?
