I am haveing major problems with the conveyor that removes the husk below the husking rollers on my New Idea picker. The chain game off the sprocket on the idler end. I got it on and then it seemed to have too much chain slack at full adjustment. I painfully (there is very little room to work in there) removed a link from each side now it seems too tight. It dosn't sound right when running. It must have gotten tweeked but there is no access anywhere to properly evaluate it while it is running. I am considering removing the hole unit and sacrificeing the little corn it is catching. The deer get way more anyway. Has anyone ever done that? Would the husk just fall down or somehow build up and get clogged?

that chain has to be there or like ya said it will build up and plug. And yes i know oh to well that there is NO ROOM TO WORK . THe best bet is to bust your donkey and remove the chaon and get it out on a flat surface and see where she is pulled and then see what ya can do. YA may be able to rebuild it or replace the bad links and get it somewhere close . And never ever work on a running picker or we many have to call ya LEFTY.

Dont know about corn pickers but I am working on a New Idea transplanter and they talk about slack chain in the operators manual. Those chains are the hammer on kind and if they get in a bind the links will pull apart and cause the slack. Removing a link will bind it even more just like what your experiencing.

You can get those chains at Tractor Supply so it may pay off to just get a new chain.
