how tight should my tracks be on the freighter ? if I pull with some force on the back of the pontoon where there are no rails it pulls out about an inch . is that normal or should I tighten them ?
Just curious, why do they have you bend the connecting links when the rail on either end of the pontoon is adjustable? Isn't that why you can loosen the rail sections on the ends and adjust them out? I haven't had to do it yet on mine so curious.
How you address the distance on the early pontoons that had one adjuster?
I get that but the earlier ones only had one adjuster so one side will always be different length ?
I always set my adjusters equal as advised .
Scott is saying it doesn't matter what is happening on one end of the pontoon or the other. One end could be bottomed out, the other end could be maxed out, it wont matter. The important thing is to have the inside and outside adjuster equal on the same end. Your 'Single adjuster' pontoon (really 2 adjuster) needs to be even on each side (of the same pontoon) so tension on each side of the track is equal.
I'm pretty sure I understand this but what does one do when you have a variety of rollers on the machine? Say one side (of one pontoon)has more new rollers than the other, how would you even out the sides of the adjusters then? Would you trade rollers around until you could make tension and length correct for each side?
