I go at it one of two ways, depending on what else might be on the trailer and where the trailer tiedowns wind up relative to the tractor.
On the rear of the BN, I use two clevises. If chaining to the rear, I'll run a single 3/8" chain through them both and bind it down. If chaining to the front, the tires get in the way, so I'll use two chains, one to each clevis and anchor each chain to the opposite side of the trailer so that they cross. Either gives good fore-and aft tension as well as side-to-side.
For the front, Jim's suggestion of anchoring devices bolted to the front casting are a very good idea that I haven't got around to yet. What I usually do is run a couple of 20" car axle tie-down straps (I think they're each rated for 2000#) and loop each one thorough the spokes on one wheel and then pass a 9/32" grade 90 chain through the trianguar loops at the ends of the straps and anchor fore or aft of that point, depending on which way I've rigged the rear. That works OK as long as you have the two-wheel NFE like I have and no front weights on them. If yours is a single front wheel of you have wheel weights covering the spokes of the dual wheels, an anchor on each side placed as Jim describes would be your best bet. You might want to design it in a way that would allow you to tie down in either direction.
