I have been testing a self lubricating plastic roller instead of the sprocket tensioners. so far so good.

hi MattO
Thanks 4 the photos .
As I interperet the pics .
The adjuster bolt goes up and down.
The top of the housing is threaded and the lock nut tightens against the housing preventing the rotation of the adjuster bolt.
The lower connection to the threaded block.
eg threaded rod goes thru block via drilled hole with a welded nut on the lift side [allows spinning of the threaded rod when adjusting ]
To understand scale of size and get a better impression are the 1x bolt adjuster 3/8 unc
and the 2x pad tensioner lock bolts 3/8 unc
hope u understand my description of operation.
Positively the best tensioner I have seen thus far.
If I had only designed chassis to take these tensioners agh agh

On a side note the tensioner looks to be easy to remove and replace/service etc [those thru and thru bolts are a good idea ]

Hi ,
If u remember I was talking to u about rear chain tensioner for the diesel muddox . I am finally sick of repairing the ratchet tensioners [Max ] and trying to get them to hold . agh
The only piece of info I require is to no if the main body is greater than 5 inches high and the depth also . {My frame rails r 5 inches high} The diesel muddox tensioners are a great idea and on the first impression seem easy to modify to single chain and either push or pull operation .

Looks like it could be adapted to any number of machines. The old ratcheting adjusters were a poor design. This one has promise.
