Re: chain size
Kirk, I measured a set that came with the last Cub I bought, however, I have not had these chains mounted. Width is 18" and length is 96". If you want to wait another month, I'll take off the ones that I know fit and give you that measurement.

Re: chain size
For length you could also measure the diameter of your tires, subtract 2 x the amount of overlap on the sides that you want = 6-8", then multiply by 3.14 to get the circumference/length.

Re: chain size
If it was me I'd wait the month rather than do the math

Re: chain size
Think Id wait also, never was that good in math. When I get above 20, i run out of fingers and toes.
Tractors are like watermelons: the RED is good and you throw away the GREEN.

Re: chain size
Thanks guys. I have a couple of sets that are 8'4"X19"and was wondering if they might fit. I figure some of you guys might know without me dragging them thru the snow to try them on.

Re: chain size
Thaanks Tim. Better longer then shorter. I can always cut them down to size.

Re: chain size
Mine are 94 by 18. I have lots of slack.

Re: chain size
I also have a set of 90X16 I can try. When I got them, with some cub parts, my friend couldn't remember what tractors they were on. Maybe the bigger ones were on his uncles farmall A.
thanks, Kirk
