After rebuilding both finals and upper idlers on the 420c five roller, the tracks are back on and adjusted with 3/4 inch sag between the upper and front idler as per the jd manual. In your experience, is this the proper tension or should they be run a little looser or tighter? I plan to re-adjust the tension after I walk it outside and run it back forth a few a times.
Thanks for any replies in advance.

Andy,
It will get looser with use. I would try to keep it between 3/4 and 1 1/2.
Don't go tighter because it will take a lot more power to run it and will also dramaticaly increase the wear issue I have been told.
