A bracket is rotatably secured to the coupler and includes a pair of lugs for rotatably supporting a sprocket. The sprocket is rotatably supported between the lugs and engaged with the chain so as to tension the chain. The sprocket and the bracket are rotatable relative to the coupler for suitably supporting the chain in place.
