Tie down points on an Unstyled B

Hi all,
Not new to trailering jd tractors but new to unstyled B. Wondering if anyone has any advice on tie down points for chains. When i brought it home it was a rust bucket so in addition to the drawbar I just threw a chain over the frame. Now with it being painted as a show tractor I dont want to damage it. I see holes in the frame in front of the flywheel where I can put two Clevises but i would feel better if I had a location more towards the front of the tractor. How do you guys do it? Thanks
 
Cargo straps with loops on each end. Wrap them around anything from a frame or around the front axle and hook ratchet straps to
that. Most places that sell straps will carry them.
 
Two Grade 8 bolts thru frame on holes already
there. 1/4 Flatbar and 4 chain links

If there is a place on the front for the cultivator bracket most guys just drill a hole for a pin and clevis to hook to. Do make the hole about an inch in diameter reason is for shackles to get the pin through. Shackles have threaded pins rather than just sticking a pin through with a clip. To get a shackle big enough to get a chain through from both sides it takes a pretty big shackle. Thus bigger pin for it. I have also had to hook to the under side of the frame to haul them and not leave marks on painted tractors. Like hooking into the drawbar bracket under the tractor. Nobody looks under there for the paint to be scratched and will get marred driving through weeds and such if the tractor is used for more than a trailer queen anyway.
 

I came up with a decent variety of clevises today. Tomorrow I am going to see what will fit where. I dont have a cultivator bracket but have a variety of chains should be able to find a way to route them without scratching too bad.
