After you find the model number on the blower, then check here for a manual

to the form.  Good bunch of folks here.  Somebody here has probably broken and fixed whatever problem you happen to come across on your tractor.  Lots of answers and advice here, just be sure to ask the question.

Usually one sprocket has a small amount of adjustment.  If the chain is well rusted and worn, replace it before it wastes the sprockets.

@83mercedes welcome to the site!  that chain set up is probably a # 40 chain and related sprockets , usually at tractor supply . most important part of blower use is LUBRICATION TO MOVING PARTS , never let that chain and gear set up dry out , I  lubricate mine before and after use , LUBRIPLATE chain and cable spray , is made for that . look over all related movement points. if it rusty , aerosol lube or chassis grease , make it better . just basic maintenance on a blower , pete
