Tieing down an M/MD

What's the best way to tie down the front end of M/MD (tricycle)? Don't want to mess up my new paint job. I use 4 chains and 4 rachet binders, so 2 chains each side on front, but what's a good hook arrangment? Any pictures, comments appreciated.
 
I bought forged 1/2" "I" bolts. the eye diameter is 4" and the bolt end is 1/2" by 3".

you can put them on the side rails, drawbar, front hitch plate, etc. works well.
 
you can bolt a plate to the front wheels where the 2 bolt holes are they are threaded then just hook your chains to the plate that way your paint is unharmed in front and you can use a larger shackle in the drawbar hole to loopp your chains through there.
 
There are threaded holes in the front bolster for mounting imnplements. Go to the fastener store and get some forged steel eye bolts (not the soft hardware store stuff) and screw the eye bolts into those holes and use that to attach your tie downs.
 
There are several guys on eBay selling a triangle plate you can bolt to the front pedistal to put a clevis on. I made my own for all my tractors out of 3/4" plate.
