Status: offline 		all I can suggest is try taking a link out of the chain and see if that helps
also I suggest that you undo the nuts holding the track drive wheels and pull the axle towards the front of the blizzard and then do up the nuts again and see if that has tensioned the drive chains

Status: offline 		hi, thanks for your reply, tensioning the chains is quite easy the problem is they keep slipping loose, the shaft on the front cog wheel is held with a tiny screw which seems to be the problem and being awkward to get to with a screwdriver its hard to tighten and i'm slowly rounding the screw head off, i'm thinking of replacing that shaft with a nut and bolts rather than that shaft and screw set up unless anyone has any other ideas or has had this problem
