Your location is Kansas? I'm just not understanding your English very well. I'm going to guess that you are trying to say that your chain keeps coming loose.

You are supposed to loosen the nut on the left, loosen the axle nut, turn the bolt until the chain is the proper tension. Then tighten the nut on the left, tighten the axle nut and you are done. There should be no chain stretch or loosening.

When doing all of this make sure to:
Use proper chain tightening methods and refer to a manual if you are unsure.
Use proper tools.
Use proper torque values.

Where to buy a good chain will depend where you are. Europe? Australia? Canada? Japan? United States?
