Lucky you!
Evenin' Dave.
Lots of guys bind down that way. The important thing, any way you chain it down, is to stop after about ten minutes into the trip and periodically thereafter and make sure ALL the chains are still tight.
I'd probably put the Cub on nose first to keep the weight on the high side of the trailer, and use the longer chain to secure by the front axle tube. Run one end of the chain through the anchor pocket and bring it back up, over one end of the axle tube and hook it back onto itself. Do the same thing at the other end of the axle tube with the other end of the chain. Hook each end so they are about even as this is the end you'll pull (or push) against. Any excess chain will be between the two loops. Tighten that up, and then use the binder on the chain on the rear.
Fixed drawbar or 3-point? If fixed, the drawbar is the place to tie onto. I think it has only a single hole, and I wouldn't trust a single clevis, so it's probably best to give your chain an extra turn over the drawbar. Pull it up as tight as you can by hand on one end and put the binder on the other.
Four anchor pockets doesn't sound like many. Keep in mind that you can run your chains under the tractor if you need to instead of off the ends. See Bouncer's lashing job at the link. That might be useful depending on where your anchors are, and it might also open up some options for finding a place to tie onto the rear if the tractor is a 3-pt.
