dave583 10-09-2003, 07:16 PM I am pulling out the MXZ this weekend and gonna start prepping it for winter. I like working on it before the weather gets real cold. I was just wondering how do some of you gage your track tension. Do you measure sag or use a spring scale? Just wondering. SDRENE800RER 10-09-2003, 07:23 PM The "by the book" method is @ 1-3/8" gap measured @ middle of hyfax with 16 pounds of pressure. I like the PITA method of loosening it up till it ratchets and give it half turns till it quits. This takes a little bit of time, but allows you to run as loose as possible without ratcheting. Good Luck Todd TT670 10-09-2003, 10:48 PM I loosen til it ratchets and then tighten till it stops. tb2 10-10-2003, 02:42 PM I put the rear of the sled up, then I hook a fish scale on one of the track windows and pull down so at about 16lbs I have 1 3/8" clearance. Summit 144 10-10-2003, 06:04 PM I'm with TT670. loosen til it ratchets the tighten some. IMO looser is faster because of less friction. There is a reason why they make antiratchets drivers.
