In Reply to: tractor tire chains posted by DLMKA on September 21, 2015 at 09:02:50:
[quote="DLMKA"](quoted from post at 17:02:50 09/21/15) I bought a set at an auction over the weekend for $5 without laying them. They aren't in bad shape but not good either. In any case it's repairable but I have NO idea what size they are. Is there any measurements I can take while laid out to determine if they will fit on the 13.6X38 on my tractor? I suppose I could just try fitting them up too but a tape measure is lighter than trying to wrestle the chains on.[/quote
Actually it is easy to do..The variable is in the length of the cross chain as to how low or high the side chain will ride on the side wall of the tire. Measure 1/2 the cross chain width from the tire center line on to he side wall at two opposite sides of the wheel. Then measure the distance between the two marks = d. Multiply that distance d X (pi) 3.14 = length of the side chains.
PS : If you want to put the chains on let the tractor do the work. Lay them out, drive the tractor on to one end, stop and put a bungee strap through the rim and hook up the side chain, inside and out side,drive forward and the wheel will pick up the chain as you do.

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
