Seems like we just took them off, this getting old $$$$ is scary. Actually just took them off my MF 65 to bring it home to replace radiator . I am happy to report the radiator from YT was a perfect fit.

I put the chains on my Farmall H 2 years ago. I have no reason to remove them.

I asked Dad years ago if he had any advice about putting tire chain on my FARMALL. He looked straight at
me and said, "Yeah, DON'T TAKE THEM OFF." I have learned a few secrets on my own. At first, each chain
toom close to an hour. Last time I put them on I got both on in an hour. My tractor chains are made from
several sets of semi-tractor chains, 3/8" thick chain, crossbars every other link of the side chains.
It's all I can do to drag one chain across my shop floor. And pick them up and set them on a 13.6x38
tire? Maybe with a hoist! I tie them to the wheel thru one of the holes in the rear wheel, jack that
wheel up and spin the wheel till chain is on top.
I have a concrete drive that slopes uphill to the road. Without chains I can't even drive my loader
tractors up to the road.

Are you not worried that the chains won't damage that nice concrete

Wow you guys are amateurs. With my Dad moving the tractor I can throw a set of 18.4x34 double ring chains on a tractor in 15 minutes flat.

hains don't seem to bother it. poured that about 28 years ago. Only damage was done when I pounded a couple nails that were too long for the board which left a few dents in the surface. The white lines is a pickle court scaled down to fit, works for us old folks and grandkids.
