Re: (ET) Totally dead E20, thoughts?



And yet another method: I jack up one side, so I can easily get the chain under the wheel and rotate the tire. Then do the other side. As already mentioned I also use bungees on the outside of the wheel to take up any slack.

This is the method I use as well. I lay out the chains, back over them, pull them up over the top of the tire (all the while trying to distribute the crossbars evenly), and then do the inside chain latch first. After doing up the outside latch, I use shock chords between the circumference chains to take up the slack. Then I run them a lap or two around the driveway and try to take up a link or two on both the inside and outside chain latches.

Since I use mine with only a bucket loader, I usually leave the chains on most of the time.

Speaking of which I re-installed my chains. What a pain; I've found it's easier to just take the wheel off, get them on, then put the wheel back on the tractor.


I lay mine behind the wheel, back over just past the middle, pull them up, connect, drive to redistribute and tighten...a lot easier than taking off a wheel.
