first thing i would do is get the latches working properly. spray some penetrating oil on them wd40 will work too. then i would lay them out and nice and neat, and make sure the chains are not all twisted up, make sure all the links lay nice and neat. then look for the side that has wear on them, and put that side out, if both sides have wear, pick a side. then grab one side of the chains and throw them up and over the tire. get it straightened out, and then drive the tractor forward or back ward a few feet and hook both ends of the tire chains. i usually like to do the inside one first, and then the outside one, because the inside one is harder to get to. after you get get one side installed, do the same for the other side. then drive it around for a 5-10 minutes , and retighten them. when you stop, make sure the conectors are on the rear side of the tire and near the ground, that is where all the slack is, when you are going forwards.I like to get them tight enough that they do not hit the fenders and make a bunch of racket. if you do not have fluid in the tires you may be able to jack up the rear end of the tractor and let some air out of the tires, put the chains on, and then pump them back up. that way they will be nice and tight. jared
