Oooh yeah.... Gotta have the track tools. You could probably strong arm the parts and just make due with some heavy tools, but I'm not sure. I am not an experienced track mechanic.
Just run the adjusters all the way back in, take out a link or two, and then take up whatever small amount of slack is left. Do you have the track maintenance tools?
Looks pretty good! I'm surprised you need to short track it before wearing the rubber pads off. I've seen periscopes fairly cheap but I can't remember where. Sportman's guide maybe?
