Okay, I got my tractor home using straps, but it will never leave the house again without chains. I was looking at harbor freight and they have 5/16" grade 70 chain rated for 4,700lbs and 3/8" ratcheting load binders rated for 5,400lbs. Will the 3/8" binder work with 5/16" chain? I can't find 3/8" grade 70 chain anywhere in town. Any other ideas on where to look? From reading through all the posts I think if my tractor is under 10,000 lbs and am not hauling for commercial purposes, I only need to have the 2 chains on it. One starting on the front corner going through the axle and back to the other corner on the front, and one starting from one back corner going through the drawbar and over to the other back corner. Not trying to start a long drawn out thread and realize there are a lot of different rules in different states, but I think that will comply with the laws here in Texas. Mainly looking for input on whether the 5/16" chain will work with a 3/8" binder and if not where should I look for 3/8" grade 70 chain. Thanks, Nathan

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
