bmghog 3 #1 Posted March 2, 2014 Any one have any problems with the chains rubbing on the fuel rail and brake housing on the left side of a 520-H 1988 Bronson Note 3 --- 3178098612 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
varosd 1,185 #2 Posted March 2, 2014 Is that the 520-H that was recently for sale here on RS? They should not rub. Obviously, ensure they are the correct tire chain size for the tire you are using. Are you using standard turf tires? tightness of the tire chains is key, place them on a deflated tire then add air. you may need to add tire chain tightener even to the inside of the tire. I think Mike (Squonk) added a wheel spacer for one of his setups. Take and post a picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,422 #3 Posted March 2, 2014 Check the hubs, they should be flush with the ends of the axles. If they have come loose and moved in towards the tranny that might be how you lost your clearance. Mike...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,808 #4 Posted March 2, 2014 I have 23x10.50 ag's on My C145 and the chains hit. I used Ford (Oh the irony!) wheel spacers like 5/16'. Had to use longer wheel studs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmghog 3 #5 Posted March 2, 2014 Okay thanks thought I would need spacers. ...yes this is the 520-H on here from yesterday. Put the snow thrower on and all ready to go minus the chains. Anyone know where to get calcium for the tires Bronson Note 3 --- 3178098612 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roscoemi 245 #6 Posted March 2, 2014 I used rv antifreeze in mine, usually cheap at Menards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone know where to get calcium for the tires Bronson Note 3 --- 3178098612 Calcium is not being used by the Agricultural industry as much, RimGuard (beet juice), RV antifreeze(non toxic), wiper fluid and some have tried a solid heavy foam filled tire I heard. lets see some photos! the one ad photo looked like a pretty clean rig!
