Going slightly of topic but ok. The Universal starts with 168 links, 8 lenghts of 21 links each. After a run in period of 50 to a 100 miles you would have a proper mesh on the sprocket that was installed new with the new track. You would then remove the first link to compensate for the running in wear leaving 167 links. After this you were allowed to remove a further 10 links and the tracks was considered worn when adjusting was no longer possible with 157 links. Mind you, I have seen and talked to owners who run on less links but breakage is frequent and only low speed and manouvering recommended!
Cheers,
