Tire chain identification

[Lower40]

I have a set of NOS chains that have been in my barn for years, they are rusty but were never installed. Trying to identify their application so I can sell or trade them for a set to fit my New Holland tractor with 15X19.5 NHS rear tires. These are too large for my New Holland.

This set is about 10'9" long, 28" wide, and about 9" between cross links.

What style chains are these, what tire will they fit and what is a value.

Thank You

Those chains fit a 40" OD tire X 13.6"-14.8" wide. That's the best I got, sorry.

That's a good start Thanks...do you know what style chains these are? Are they considered double ring?

It's called a double ring chain. I imagine you could look up the dimensions and possibly find out what size tires they'll fit. I would let potential buyers do that though. Give them accurate dimensions and they can decide if the chains fit, or can be modified to fit, their application. Even when new, tire chains usually have to have a few links cut off in order to fit a specific tire size without extra hanging out. I have yet to have a set that didn't require this. Here's a link with some options in that style. This might give you some ideas for pricing. Tractor Tire Chains

BlueKnife makes a good point. Cut the length down to fit what you have, much cheaper that way.
Put them on your tractor, measure to find out how much they need to be cut-off.

You will save a great deal of money by reusing these double ring chains.

All you need is the correct size snow chain breaking and mending tool
for this thickness of chain and bolt cutters to cut the cross chains to the
right length and the side chains to the right length to fit your tractor.

The tire chain repair tool for tractors is the right size for the double ring
chains you have.

These tire chain repair pliers are $147.29 plus tax and shipping from
Tire Chains R Us.

If you have a set of bolt cutters you are halfway there already.

You have to understand that tire chain suppliers build chain sets to the closest
size for any application and they are not exact and you may end up breaking
and making up the size you need anyway.

Save your money and buy the chain mending tool and a bolt cutter if you need
a bolt cutter and save the excess chain for repairs as you will be money ahead
if you need to repair your chains.

Purchasing a set of chain tensioners assures that you will have tight side chains at all times.

When mounting the chains on your mule you need to let some air out of the tire with the
valve stem at the top and tighten the side chain on the inside to the very last link and then
tighten the outside side chain to the last link and then put air back in the tire to its
recommended pressure.

These chain pliers are the ones you need to avoid filling a swear jar quickly.
The chains are us price is the lowest price that I found for them.

The tractor tire chain tool will open and close the side links for you in one motion saving
you hours of work and skinned fingers and you can use it for a field repair if needed.
