Took "OJ" down the drive today as test. went great. Preformed some work along the main rd. Took my time more out of fear, lol. Got to say hearing those v-bars biting into the hardpack / gravel was rather nerve racking. I kept checking for looseness, binding, anything that could become an issue...

Finally got the rear chains on today. The fronts still awaiting spacers as first order center hole slightly too small 66mm. Since I can no longer read the micrometer its trial & error. Next size up in spacers are 68.5mm crossing the fingers. Anyways here's the rears, which went much better than...

The rear has a pivot point? I understand the front yes. Can't find it now. Yourself? Someone advised NEVER install spacers on the front. I understand possibilities of further stress not factored in from the factory, however, I need that extra room more as a safety concern on my part with chains...

No as the chains fit over them with room to spare. Pressures at what's on the tires. though, now that it's dark can't say what's those were. Nor do I remember.

I want back for another round this morn 0700-1200hrs. How many O'l Farts does it take to put on a pair of chains? Anyways, I went back repositioned everything got the locking handle positioned correctly, looped back. I'm still not too sure happy as 1 cross chain is ever so loose, Where...

Ive had several sets of the rubbers didn't last perhaps couple yrs. if that. tried my own springs setup, worked on other machines over the yrs. I like this latest spinoff (turnbuckles) being able to adjust when the mood strikes, worked well at the RR over the yrs., lol now if I ever get the...

Yes, they supply both the inches & MM for those following metric system. In the end both measurement systems used are 4.5 all the studs when all said & done.

I tried like the dickens to loop it back so many times lost count. Just didn't have the strength. When I had them so that I could latch properly chains so very loose, even the tensioners didn't have enough travel to remove slack. Get the chains nice & tight or there abouts, I could no longer...

This is what the 3" spacers look like installed. Not an ounce of issue during install, machined / matching perfectly. My unit a BX24.

Went and made me a change in my homegrown tensioners, still on the fence with my feelings.

I hope this link works: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325980715136

Have a peek at today's setup. Can you see any potential issues? Something could be different? really any ideas certainly welcomed. Using the turnbuckles able to retighten as needed. I may go with another batch of small turnbuckles see if I can produce somewhat of a star pattern, sadly hardware...

Thank You for the link. I indeed saved, just for the hell of it after, went scouting the innerweb (gas monkey garage) term. found several sources with the same, lots less expensive to boot. Least now I've a reference to work from should it be needed in the future. Again, Thank You.

Thank You Luckily, I had eventually found several spares from other chains that had come with the tractor.

Believe I'll take my chances. Chain don't believe I can go any smaller unless go with flowerpot sizes. The Kubota dealer at the time haven both sold installed them even they I recall at the time considered spacers at the front due to being so close. was bad enough the rear chains they installed...

Kenda (mfg.) calls them Terra Trac. Amazon calls them All Terrain. To me are a cross between really aggressive tread & the Turfs offered via Kubota. I'll surely share my snow experience with them. May not be a true test of them alone, as, I'm also adding the v-bar chains back on if I can ever...

Morning didn't start another thread seems I'm cluttering the forums with many questions. Anyway, this morning. I'm finding the front chains hit the tie rod ends just enough to be a concern. I've tried everything I can think of cinching them up. doing my best to evenly space the cross links...

Thank You Both. I spent the day wrestling with the 2 chains at the front just about all I could manage. I've got to finagle a tensioning system as very close to the tie rod ends, don't need to damage those. I discovered 1 of the rear chains also needs a pair of side links for the cross links, &...

I've a set of new chains for both the front & rear of the BX24. Chains are V-Bar. Last yr. first trip down the driveway one of the clasps broke. For the life of me can't recall what that part may be called, also if they can be purchased alone. Also, can you folks think of another means to...
