While pushing snow yesterday, one of the fasteners (latch) on one of my tractor chains broke. Not the end of the world, so I stopped today at my local Bomgaars store (sort of like farm & fleet) to get a new latch. They don't carry any tire chain repairs, the chains are obsolete with all the four wheel drive tractors. Suggested I try the local Case IH dealer. Guess what, they don't carry any tire chain repairs, who uses chains anyway? Stopped at a local welding & machine shop. He called a supplier in Omaha Ne. and will have me two pair of latches tomorrow. If you don't need fancy jeans, or western shirts, or maybe dog, rabbit or horse food, go to the welding shop. He lives in the real world. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Dale

I would check with the local industrial suppliers. Most of them around here carry chain and fastners... to some degree. The inventory varies as do the prices. Also watch out for the offshore chain. It's not worth a damn, so leave it where it's at and get good HARD chain.

After seeing it on tirechains.com I started using the small load binders for the outside latch and it really works good. Easier to hook and you can get the chain a lot tighter on the first try, and they have them at Bomgaars. Lee

tirechain dot com has hardware for chains. I believe it is all chinese, but I cannot say for sure. They are mighty proud of thier product when you look into individual crosschains and hardware but redeem themselves on full sets.
