Bolt on tie downs

[jigs_n_fixtures]

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of bolt on tie down points for TYM tractors?

I chock the wheels, and then chain down the axles on my T233 and T293 when I need to trailer them, but it would be easier to tie it down if there were bolt on chain points, which bolt to the frame and have pressed out chain eye holes on the ends of the frame rails.

I've seen bolt on units for other brands on YouTube. just wondering if anyone knows of a source?

I just wrap a chain around each front corner of the tractor frame for the front tie downs, and run chains out to the back corner tie downs off of a straight clevis hitch on my draw bar in back. Binders on each corner. Don't need any "hooks". Works fine for me.

I replaced two of the bolts on the front frame with eyebolts. These bolts are threaded through the frame so I installed threaded bolts that were longer and I added a washer and nut to make sure they held. I use the eyebolt to tiedown the front of the tractor when I trailer it.
The picture shows which bolts I replaced, I never took a picture of the upgrade.

Im not sure of the shear strength of a bolt on device to hold back a tractor…especially a tractor hooked to a trailer that is involved in going from 60mph to 0mph in a matter of seconds….. think crash

The majority of frame connections on the T233 and T293, are bolted. And depending on what steel, at what heat treatment that steel has, bolts are better than welding, if you don’t have the ability to stress relieve the welds and re-heat treat the steel.

So, I would rather stay with bolted connections like the factory engineers did. The strength of bolted connections is pretty much dependent on the quantity, grade and size of the bolts.

Thanks, for the input guys. The tie downs from Bolt on Hooks, look idea but are out of stock. I put my info on their wait list.

I found some bolt on D-Ring anchors with 12,000-lbs ratings, so a working load of 4000-lbs. But the bolt spacing isn’t quite right. Looking at possibly buying some weld on D-Ring anchors, and getting them welded onto some 3/8-inch plate with the holes drilled to match existing holes in the frame.
