I'm trying for the life of me to see what may be stopping it up, but I just can't see it with that mud, and I can't remember anything that would be stopping it up. With that being said, I'm certain you don't have enough there to take a link out. They have to be VERY worn out to take a link out, and your idler side brackets aren't even out past the end of the track frame. Usually to have enough slack to take a link out, the idler bracket will be either flush with the front of the track frame, or sticking out past the front of the track frame by a little bit. It looks as if yours is still at least 2 inches from being flush with the front of the track frame. I still say you should have more travel to the track adjuster, something must be stopping it up. I have seen people that had bad track adjusters pull the track tight with the blade by putting a chain around the idler, then welding a block on the track frame behind the idler. I've also seen where people have had the track adjuster pumped out so far the grease was coming out around the seals (out of usable stroke), so they built spacer blocks to stick in between the idler brackets and the track adjuster yoke where they bolt together. Like I said, if you don't have the money to spend on it, there are ways to get by. Just need to see what's stopping it up from going out farther. But, like I said, if that picture is with the track pumped up where it should be, there isn't enough room to take out a link. If that picture is with the track slacked off before you tried adjusting it, there may be enough room to take a link out.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
