Any pics of the adjuster?
I can get some in the morning.
most likely bad threads on the adjuster nut/rod--i had to partially tighten the clamp to get my adjuster nut to move and hold.
Thanks I will try to tighten the bolts then try the adjuster again. Also any easy way to get to nut or special wrench to tighten it since it sits almost right behind blade bracket.
the wrench for the nut has an angle offset so you can get onto the nut for a small amount of turn

Tighten idler with a porta power and fabricate shims the right thickness. Even if you buy new nuts and go to the trouble of installing them they likely will not work because the threads are worn on shaft and changing that is big trouble.

Second that- if the threads were usable the idler wouldn't have shims on the bracket.
