found out about the oil 1.4 pints, so about 0.7 liter's

just need to find out how to adjust the chain now, i must get a manual!!

There is a tensioner that canbe accessed through the skidder underneath the rear of the 70

Loosen the bolt and push the tensioner up. Real fiddly to do.

Do you have to loosen both bolts? or just the rear one?

Both I think, or its real hard to push the tensioner up.

done it now, but i think the chain is pretty shagged so i'll get a new kit in the new year
