You can make it one of two ways. Weld short pieces of chain to an angle iron and bolt or weld the angle to the mower, or pass a round rod through the ends of the short chan pieces and attach that to the angle. The second method will require the use of keepers on the angle to stop the chain from sliding to one side and bunching up. You would need a keeper every 4th or fith chain. This method also alows you to pull the rod and change chain pieces.
I opted for the welded method as I just don't see myself changing these chains very often. Also I can just cut off the offending chain and tack a new one on in its' place quicker.
