Hi All,
so there are 3 chains in the Victa Imperial. 2 of them have nylon block tensioners .... no problem there.
However the chain to the drive roller does not. I have a photocopy of a technical note saying that in order to tension this drive roller chain you have to loosen the clutch assembly and move it to gain tension.
No problem ... I have the relevant 2 prong tool to loosen.
Problem is this clutch assembly threads into the side of the mower base and is fixed, so it cant be moved ... so how do I tension this chain ?

I think I would personally punch a link or 2 out of the chain, get a suitable half link and join it that way

I have no idea how their method could possibly work but I havent done much work on these
