[AT] Old topic-- crossed trailer chains...

[charliehill]

Hmmmmm.  I've got the NC book around here somewhere.  Next time I find it 
I'll see what it says.
On most utility type trailers I don't see how the chains can be short enough 
to keep the tongue off the ground unless the trailer end of the chains are 
attached close to the end of the tongue and unlike any I've seen.  Thanks 
for the info.
