Chains are sometimes (often, here in upstate NY) necessary.
They help little on solid frozen ground or "glare" ice......
might even be worse on hard ice as they tend to "skate".
They help a lot in deep snow and mud however.
I have double ring chains for two of my tractors and they work very well in mud as they tend to "self clean"
Without chains, the tread fills with mud and the tires become big smooth donuts with nearly no traction at all.
As for installing them, I have always "thrown" them over the tire and then moved the wheel a quarter turn to hook them up....I might have to re-tighten after a little use but chain tighteners keep them pretty snug.
I will say this......double ring chains are heavy and there ain't no way I could ever throw them over a 34" or 38" tire and wheel.
Not only is the tire higher but the chains are a lot heavier.
I have a WD and a D-17 Allis with 28" wheels so it is manageable, but, at 78 it ain't nearly as manageable as it once was! LOL

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
