I'm servicing my old 6 ft McKee (3ph) snowblower. I would like to know how much tension there should be in the drive chain.

Thanks

I lube and adjust mine every year. I keep about 1/2" play up and down on the chain. Too tight and the chain will stretch faster.

Thanks for the input fellas. I'll split the difference :)

I lube the chain with some summer chain saw bar oil before each use but I have been running the chain a bit too slack.

Thanks again.
