1968 Bombardier muskeg track tension MM-68

Looking for the info on proper track adjustment for my muskeg.
installed new tires and new sprockets. My rear solid tire (adjustment tire) is maybe 1/8"-3/16" off the cross tube. Track seems pretty tight but seems to need more clearance.

Thank you for all the help.

I haven't looked a manual lately on the tension spec .I've been running roughly the width of a finger between the tire and beam. They will loosen up after a few miles on the new sprockets for sure , are the belts new ?

Belts are original, New tires and sprockets. they seem tight already as far as the lash tension from the front bogie to the track. Ill try to send a picture.
Just don't want to cause wear and tear of the belts.
 
Anytime I've had my grease tensioners off , I make sure to shim them , so totally collapsed the tire cannot rub the tube. One thing about a Muskeg it will never throw a loose track.
