I don't like putting chains around the pedestal, but if I have to I will. If it's a show tractor II try to use nylon straps with chaffing gear across the frame and over the tranny area if possible. Also use the nylon straps across the rear rims if they're the open type. If it's just to get a junker or parts tractor somewhere, then I use all chains. But even for a show tractor I still use chains on the rear, 1 on each side pulling back and at least 1 chain on the front somewhere pulling forward. I just don't trust the nylon 100%. Seen too many break from chaffing on long trips. For the show tractor--Mike's got the right idea with the bolted on straps or hooks for rigging without disturbing a nice paint job. These can be placed in several areas--front, rear and on the housing somewhere. Sometimes you need to buy a longer bolt--if so make sure its the same grade as the one you're swapping it with.
