Ordered an 8000 psi grease gun and another lube n lock coupler last night, would it be better if the track was not on the ground when tensioning the track?
Hmmm....just a regular grease gun has always worked for me; with each pump of the handle I can see the tracks tension.

Hi folks,
The day is good. I received the gun and lock n lube Sunday morning.
I wasn't able to get the tensioner to move more than 1/2 inch using the air operated gun so I purchased the hand operated gun.
Using the hand operated gun the tensioner moved about 2 inches and now the track has about 1-1/2" sag with a straight edge between top roller and sprocket :D
Charlie.
