Overview
Pete fabricates H-pattern tire chains from scratch for his Massey 50 using quarter-inch grade-70 chain, bolt cutters, a cut-off wheel, and a welder, deliberately avoiding store-bought clips and links to keep costs down. The video walks through measuring, cutting, bending, welding, and installing the chains, then ends with a short snow-pushing test showing clear improvement. Best for DIY-minded tractor owners comfortable with basic metalwork who want a low-budget traction fix.
