Locating chains

[woodyacres]

I don't have a welder or anything so, I wanteto quickly mount some chains on my tractor. Here's what I did.. kinda tacky, but it works.

I use a 4-6" pvc pipe about 18"long{I thinK} to hold my chains, just hook the sides and drop the chain into the PVC bucket{cap on one end}. I drilled and ran wires on one of mine instead of a cap so that dirt and such could fall through.

4" PVC pipe and a couple of large hose clamps around the ROPs. An old milk crate can be mounted on the brush guard also for goodies. I drilled a several drain holes in the cap at the bottom.

I don't see anything wrong with expediant solutions to problems. I don't think I would put chain in glass jars however. I carry stuff like that around in my bucket, can't get more expediant than that

Works and is quick and easy. What more is called for?

Yup, any kind of storage (except the glass bottle) is acceptable.
I made a specific chain box out of an old ammo box which was given to me by my good friend Larry G. Attached it to the fel tower for easy access. It opens from both top and bottom, so when the chains are inside, I flip the bottom open and the chains drop out. My wife's tractor has the same set-up. Here is the thread to that:

Those were two plastic containers.

I wish I could find a couple of those.. they rock! Good idea.
