Chains Looking for adjustable sway chains

[Anonymous Poster]

I am looking for some strong, heavy duty sway chains for my YM1300D they need to be rather short as the tractor and the 3point hitch is relatively small. The chains tha came with the 3 point hitch conversion are not adjustable and it is a pain to change the length for different implements.

Thanks for your help /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Also I have looked for turnbuckles but cannot find any short enough and strong enough.

I couldn't find turnbuckles heavy enough and short enough, so I made my own - kind of...

Actually they are more like half-turnbuckles, using a piece of rectangular 1/4" wall tubing and a couple of bolts and a nut. I attached a picture. Only one side is actually adjustable, the other side is just a bolt through a hole welded to a piece of chain. This way I didn't have to worry about left handed threads. The other side has threads and a nut welded inside for extra threads, with a piece of all thread welded to a piece of chain.

Here's another shot of one before final paint. A bit closer up.

Go to E-Bay and type "Yanmar" in the search box. Someone had a couple nice looking sets for around 30 or 40 bucks. I just saw them today but have seen them before also and I think they are brand new sets that this guy is making to sell.

Thanks Guys,

I did see those chains on EBay before. I emailed the individual but found that they were too long. Wish they weren't 'cause they sure look nice. GBirkey yours look do-able.
Tom Fredericks emailed me back and his may be short enough

Thanks again, /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Check with Aaron at Hoye Tractor Company. I got mine from him and they are short, adjustable, and work great on my F-15.
