Well I used the chains from Chvymn99 for the first time yesterday and let me tell ya that thing can go anywhere with them! I intentionally drop into a snow bank and went clean through it and out the other side! What a sweet little plow setup. It pulls firewood great too! Major back saver for this winter.... Now I need to adjust the clutch and ill be off for the races! Thanks Chvymn99
O ya I put a TON of bungies on them and thar did the trick they work awesome! I did move a couple sections to space it out better but I really didnt need too. I coulda just left them but um well ( ocd Pete ) Thanks bud best $25 ive spent in a looong time..
Its a 1981 6216! its a real beast of a transmission too. Its the heavy duty 900lb tow capasity and it can do every biit of that still. I have a 6211 parts tractor seting out back too...
put a set or two of wheel weights on it as well, you will see the difference. the cheapest are 75 lb a set plastic ones filled. the upper end is IH 26 lb weights a set but $125 i grew up in a simplicity dealership in the 60's and 70's, they are great old tractors.
Thanks for the info art! Do you know how to adjust the clutch / brake on these? I looked but woo it's complicated... I'm looking for a manual now.
i wrote that wrong it should read 75lbs each weight and 26 lbs each weight on the IH ones. any 12 inch wheel weight will fit the older tractors used a belt drive / idler below your left knee for clutch. probably different on the newer ones
