Jack: Tire chains are not a very exact science. For example trucks with dual wheels, there is as much as two cross chains different between new and worn tires. You can buy a tool for adding or removing cross chains, or you can bust knuckles with cole chisel. If you have an older Farmall with 10, 11 or 12 inch wide tire, best source of wheel chains is used from trucking companies. Trucking companies tend to get rid of chains when they start breaking. Big difference your speed and theirs. I bought 4 chains for $20. and remodeled to suit. The average truck wheel chain will fit a 11.2 x 24 on Farmall 130 without modifications. I suspect the 36 and 38 on C, H, 200, 300, etc would be close to two sets of truck chains per wheel. Even if you have to go to new check truck parts store. Their prices are much better than farm stores.

I had a set of ice chains (ring chains) sold them for $250. I was nervous of old tractor rear end plus they were awfully hard on concrete floors. And really all I wanted to do was push some snow out of my driveway. I have plowed snow without chains. I find I don't get in trouble pushing snow. Its when I back up that incline or back out of snow I have pushed too far into.
