There are different manufacturers for our chain tension bolts, one vendor VMC has the original super lightweight ones that strip in a jiffy, familiygocarts only sells the bolt and they have a beefier (only slightly) and a tad shorter, then there's eagle that sells a "better" version but they are not truly for our machine specs so u may need to get 2 sizes to see what fits best. I ordered the original from VMC and just 2, as they only stripped due to frame bolt loosening then causing the free play in that location, what I will do is head to a ace hardware once I get the bolts and get their hardened version of nylon lock nuts and washers as the original versions don't exactly fit the thread and they can strip easier than not. oh ya and lots of blue lock tight..
ps-don't forget to check and repack the front bearings, mine came almost totally void..
