I am feeling old - there are folks out there who don't know the easy way to put on chains? Doug here has it right. lay them out, drive onto them, pull the chains up over the tire and use the latches on the chains to remove as much slack as possible. Then use a set of tensioner springs (or a couple of shock cords) to tighten the chains up some more. From: Doug McCorkle [mailto:dmccorkl sover net] I keep seeing all these complicated ways of putting chains on! Granted, my tires are old and hard, and I have hilly terrain to mow so I leave mine on all year, but, IIRC, when I put mine on a few years ago: lay them out straight on the ground drive onto them so the tires are in the middle of the chains wrap them around and fasten them up! Is there something I was missing and should have made it harder? I think that's basically how one puts chains on cars, although I don't have to do that, either. Doug McCorkle |
