Stan: For a quick check, decide where you want the edge chains to run, on the side of the tire. Measure that diameter x 3.1416 and you'll have your approx. length (plus 6 for the adjusters). Then measure between that diameter point on each side, and you'll have an approximate width. You can cut out extra links to make them fit well, or add a few, if you can weld. The cross links are usually hard tempered, so they are hard to change length on. I don't care much for straight cross links, they tend to slip down in between the tire lugs and don't help much then. From my experience, it looks like an 18-20 inch width will work for your tires. Try that out over your tires, and see where your side chains will rest. You don't want them up near the top of the tread. More over the side keeps them from sliding up and off. If you make them fit good, you won't even need to used tighteners, but they are a good safety feature. Fenders are also most desirable when you're running chains, as long as you have the space. Steve

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
