I used to haul tractors to shows with the paint barely dry. I would wrap a piece of nylon strap around the axle then put chain carefully over the axle on the strap. Never scratched up the paint. As for the eye bolts they are not designed to be pulled sideways like they get tying down equipment. Eye bolts will just break pulling side ways like that. Very poor plan. If you don't like the strap around the axle then bolt a medium plate or angle to the front across it then with about an 1-1/2 hole you can put most any shackle on to chain to. These old tractors by Requirement only need 2 chains on them so one across the front and one on the back is sufficient if you use the 3/8ths grade 70 chain. I know John is going to cite chapter and verse about the 4 point tie down and DOT books. If he looks a bit more he will find what I'm talking about. I am sure there are limits to that when the tractor gets to a certain size it needs more just due to the weight like a 2255 or 1200 traction king Case.
