Chain help?

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any place that makes snow chains for the 656 that arent $200??  I cant see spending 1/3 of the cost of the entire tractor for snow chains for my ag tires.   Thanks for any help.

Do you have 6-12’s or 23x8.50-12’s on your 656?  I have quite a few sets…

I have buckets full of used chains.       PM me for size and price.

Keith, attaching the plow frame to the drawbar is not the best.    There is risk of breaking the transmission case.  I would like the frame attached to the axle housings as normal.  Maybe others will offer opinions.

I'm afraid the chains would also probably rub the pin.

Looks like you could easily modify that plow frame to fit the factory rear axle plow mount. You can usually pick one up for 40-50 bucks. I 100% agree with Ed. I would not attach the plow to the draw bar pin, if you hit something you could crack the case and then you’ll be looking for a transmission!!

Okay guys, thanks for your input on this.  I am not as expert a welder as the fella who helped me with this.   His creativity on the hitch attachment is perhaps a risk like you said.  I thought I saw this somewhere but does anyone have a link for that bracing?  I figure I can cut this rail to fit hopefully without anymore modding or welding. :/ You guys agree?

If you are a DIYselfer and don't want to invest in a $40 axle bracket,  here is a way to mount the frame to the axle using a couple pieces of angle iron.

This will also get more clearance for the chains.

Thanks Ed.  Should I put some tough rubber pieces in there to protect the metal as well?  I was thinking something along the same lines.. even just bolted in with 'U' brackets!

 

also in your diagram, what goes over the top of the axle?  Thanks.

No rubber.   The top piece is a flat bar with a bolt on front and behind the axle.     With this arrangement, you will probably need to remove one wheel to insert the 3/4" support rod.
