Rob, Limiter chains, as Ed said, run from the top link pin to (normally) the lower lift arm pins. They stop the downward travel of the lift arms for such things as a bush hog or, in my case, a chipper/shredder. I found that there is often not enough room for the tab to slip over the lower lift arm pins, since I usually use stabilizer arms on my implements. Here's what I did: The linch pin hlders on my lower lift arms were squashed beyond repair. I keep a set of linch pins in each implement anyway, so I ground/drilled out the rivets for the holders and fabricated a set of tabs about 1-1/2" wide X 1-1/2" tall and drilled 1/4" holes in them to match the holes in the lift arms. The tabs stick above the lift arms, so I drilled a 3/8" hole near the top center of each tab. Now, I have a place to fasten the chains. I use a small clevis with a hairpin clip on the pin so that it is easy to remove (hairpin replaced a cotter). It's much easier it adjust and remove than the old way. HTH Ron
