Rear 5ft snowblower questions about using

[Northland]

They are 2 link ladder chains with spring tensioners from TireChains.com. I had to remove one link from each tire and shorten the chain accordingly.

I got it from the dealer. It's a name brand but the label was trashed when I got it new so I don't know the manufacturer's name. It's a 9624719DS if you can find who made it.

thanks for the info-I didn't think the tensioners were avaiable for tires under 17". I will call Tire Chains by Tirechains.com

They are. They also have a HD version that you have to ask for on the phone.

Thanks again for all the responses. I've found a website for the manufacturer(Walco) so I'm going to see if I can get a manual . That looks like an interesting idea about putting the pipe on the bottom lip. When you say thin walled pipe is that like EMT? (thin electrical conduit). Also, what size (diameter) did you use, and did you just run your angle grinder along to slit it?
Thanks

Fjord - the pipe is something from the scrap pile, I'm not sure of the wall thickness but a little heavier than EMT. It's 1.5" diameter. And, yes, that's how I slit it - a 1/16" thick cutting wheel on the angle grinder. With the 1/16" slit, I had to pry it open wider at one end to get it started over the lip and then worked my way to the other end of the pipe with a big hammer. It does work well.
