[Farmall] Tire Chains Slipping!

[Mike Sloane]

I know that you have a lot more experience with tractors than me, 
George, but I think you would be better off with the tie links off to 
one side, as you want the cross links to be the ones on the ground, not 
the tie links. That is the way the commercial chains are made (and the 
ones I have on my tractor). (see the image on the website listed below) 
But I do agree that you could use almost any kind of chain to make the 
tie links - either cast off car chains or tired straight chain - it 
doesn't have to be super strong.

heinous that the public will not forgive it. -Tom Robbins, writer (1936-)
