So far I found 1 set that's 54 inches long. The circumference of the tires are 81". The width is 6 inches.

How wide are the tires Chuck?     Here are some pics of some of my new sets.

I have two pair of each of these.

8 link for 7-8" wide tire

 

6 link for 5-7" wide tire       this is the best for a 6" wide tire

 

9 link for 7-9" wide tire

My tires are 6 inches wide Ed. I put a string around the tread and measured the string and got 81 inches circumference around the tires.

Maybe if you help I'll let you try out the 953 some day

Just let me swap you out of mower and you want have to worry about finding chains for traction

@cafoose it may be worth while to load your tires too.  I have found on the sickle machine, I have no weights on the right side, but double stacked weights on the left.

I am looking for 1 front wheel off a 520 with swept forward steering. Lmk if you have an extra.

Real nice 2 piece seat.  It’s not perfect, but a great survivor!

I have some 4 lug wheels if you want to do a trailer hub conversion.

@Ed Kennell Any suggestions on what type and where I can get tire chain repair tools? I found a few sets of 2 link chains here I got from the Big Show. They are all too sort so I need to extend them and then I believe they will work. I think I got a box of tire chain parts from you Ed when I got the 953. I just need to locate them

I have a small set like this. They work fine for these light duty chains.     Harbor Freight, NAPA ?

I saw that you stole the picture you posted from  Ed   I just bought the same ones from a guy in Hanover. I also got this to extend my chains so I think I'll be set

Yeah, I was too lazy to walk downstairs to take a pic of mine.    I also have an 18" long handled set, but the small set works fine.

Course I get mine at the auction for a buck.

 

Those coupling links work well.    I make the inside chain the exact length and use one of the coupling links to make the connection.   Then make the outside chain a couple links longer and use the cam tightener on the outside.
