Not sure if you want chains to set the height of the front of the hog off the ground, or you are looking for something to stabilize the hog laterally.

Don't know what's at the web site but here's a couple of ideas.

Vertically can be 2 chains attached to the front of the hog and the tractor's 3rd member (the top connection of the 3 points). Sorta makes the letter A with the hog being the horiz bar in the A. Adjust chain links for height.

Horizontally can be either chains or bars. The bar attaches where the 3 pt attaches to the implement (same hole) and the other end to a similar pin under the fender, under the axle. Where the fender bolts are secured to the axle, this is a piece of angle iron (bracket) with holes in it running fore and aft. A pin is inserted in one of the holes (usually 4 holes) on the inside of the bracket that matches the length of the bar. Tractor Supply has the bars and pins; maybe the angle bracket too. You can do this to either or both sides.

The chain would extend from 2 (left and right)of the 4 bolts securing the PTO adapter bracket (to the tractor) to some point on the lift arm. It could be made tight enough to limit the horiz travel somewhat; not a lot. Since this is usually too tight to get the 3 pt off the implements pins (during mount/dismount), a quick release link needs to be included so that the chain can be dropped when it is desired to connect the implement and reconnected afterwards.
