Default Track Tension..

I built a puller ( actually a pusher ) from a scissor jack and a few appropriately shaped bits of hardwood .... Stows under the co-pilot seat and is always available.

Also a simple piece of ply to gauge the track tension.

Easy as cake.

Those are some great points, if your track is too tight, you also limit the travel of your suspension, and you put alot of tension on 70 year old track pins and links.
