Abstract
An mounting system for chain traction systems installable on wheeled vehicles having a beam or live axle. Includes four threaded coupling nuts, each of which is threadably secured to a threaded end of one of the U-bolt shackles which secure the axle to either a set of leaf springs or to an air bag assembly. A cross plate ties each lateral pair of coupling nuts together. A mounting tube bolts to the cross plates, a mounting plate bolts to the mounting tube, and the traction system components bolt to the mounting plate. Elongated bolt holes provide a wide range of adjustability between the bolted-together components for proper positioning of the mounting bracket within an x-y plane. For adjustability in a 'z' direction, spacers of varying thickness may be inserted between the coupling nuts and the cross plates. The components may be welded together when properly positioned.
