Be sure the rod is straight and the sprockets are parallel or the chain will come off the sprocket when the links attached to the apron bar pass around the sprocket. You might want to check with a New Holland dealer about the number of links required for your spreader if you are going to shorten the chain.

The comealong is a good idea. I use one to "fold" the links into an inverted "v", then I place a block of wood (2X4) between the chain and the side of the spreader and tap the link out with a hammer. If the "barrel" part of the link is worn, the links will easily slip apart if you reduce the tension. Remember, the front sprocket will turn freely in either direction, pull the slack from the front. The rear sprocket is tied to the drive mechanism. When you finish, be sure you have the same number of links on each side of the apron chain or the spreader will be out of time and the apron slats will angle and one slat will wrap around the rear sprocket axle or shaft making a reair a real pita, especially if you have to unload the spreader by hand before making the repair.
I once tried to reduce the slack in the apron chain by removing a link from each side, bad idea. The slack is there for a reason. Too much tension will snap teh chain at the weakest link.

By drive chain I assume you mean the spreader apron? I prefer to do it in the bed, rather than under neath. Use a come-along to pull the slats together after loosening the tighteners to the max. Use either the cast flat chain detacher tool or a large cold chisel and hammer to disconnect and remove links. If the chain is a pintle chain you find that all links are pinned with removeable pins and cotter keys.
