Hi. I have a ex135 and the tracks have stretched a lot. The idler wheel is out full. I have counted the links and there is 43. There should be 44 so I guess the guy b4 me removed a link.

The chain bushings and pins are in fair/good condition. It seems that is just stretched. I did replace the sprockets last year but now I see one side is throwing the track.

is there any chance off removing another link as it only does a few hours work a month or less , or will I have to splash out on new chains

also there the idler is kinda jumping up and down but I could weld a plate to build it back up



thanks

Yep, you need need new chains.Hopefully your newish sprockets aren"t already fecked. I think you will be horrified as to how much wear there is in your chains. But , a new set of chains aren"t that expensive.

Got mine for my 135 off m and s longford Ireland, told that beko was the best chains too get,when you have them off you will see there decked,by the way does your ex drift much when you let go of the levers on a slope, does your slew brake stop her quick and hold it,also when I put boom out full reach slew brake won't stop it from turning on a slope ,is yours similar, think I've a pressure problem
