Would this work for a chain tie down point

[bottlediger]

I use chains/binders when securing to my trailer. I dont want to wrap the chain around the axle because it chews up the paint. I noticed on the front of the frame where the brush guard is located it looks to be a good spot to bolt on a plate with a lunette or pintle loop. Do you feel if I got one of these plates fabbed up this would be secure enough for the two chains to secure the front of the tractor?

Attached is a pic of the front mounting point right at the brush guard and the other picture if a shot of a plate with lunette loop that I would install in that location

Bottlediger,
I can't share any experience or knowledge regarding tie-down point suggestions, but I did notice your work station.... WOW, you have some serious wooden beams in the ceiling! Is your work station in the lower section of a old farm barn or what?

Yes Sir, that is an old 1880s PA bank barn 40x80. The summer beams shown are 14"x12" and there are 3 spans of them. Very beefy barn

Some states have different laws might be good idea call law enforcement.

I have somewhat same setup for my tie down front and rear and works good.

Looks like that has an added benefit of some front end undercarriage protection.

Thanks for all the ideas guys

I had a D ring welded to the bottom of my grill guard on my L3700. Its where I tie it down in the front when I transport it now.
