Southwestern IL St. Clair Co. | Son is fixing a 41 A. What are some options for chaining down front when hauling. Would love to have something that one could easily take off tractor for better looks. Just not sure what that is??? I’d love to see some options. I just use a clevis in back for drawbar, easy to remove. Here is what I have on my B.

north-central Indiana west of Fulton | We have something like you show , only just plated chain with no hook some tractors. Always live it on ,and chain with ratchet straps. Here is what is on a tractor the boys just finished. Plated clevis that will be left on. You about need to leave it because it will leave a mark when taken off.

north-central Indiana west of Fulton | It very well could have them, my boys did that. I know they got small fiber washers from McMastercar to put behind the hood bolts. | ||

Southwestern IL St. Clair Co. | I like the look of your clevis in frame, but on Deere’s frame is angle so can’t do that. | ||

north-central Indiana west of Fulton | There may be some other type of fastener that you could find to work for you. Get on McMastercar's website, they have most anything. | ||

| "Here" The most common way to do it is the chain hooks hanging off the frame like you've already done before. I would think you could get something chrome plated that would improve the looks of it. Possibly weld a D ring to a bolt head. Put bolt through frame rail. You could paint it whatever color you wish and with a wrench you could take it off pretty easy. If you put a small piece of rubber there that would minimize the scaring left by the bolt when you remove it. | |||

![]() Chebanse, IL..... | I personally dislike the "dangling chains" that seem quite common. First, I don't think that 1/2" bolt spaced out like that will stand much of a pull. I notice some folks use those hardware store quick repair links. If you ever check the specs on them (some have them printed on the label) you'll find most of them very lacking. | ||

| Ron I will be marking these. Excellent Idea I hadn't thought of. | |||

Snipesville, GA | We have tie downs just like the John Deere on all our Farmalls. I heard someone mention on here at antique tractor shows, they ask judges to overlook tie downs as a lot of these tractors are hauled a lot. | ||
