Use a bolt and nut to secure the chain.

If I thought I would ever use this chain for hauling anything again I
would get a couple "clevis" grab hooks and make a real tow chain out
of it.

A sling hook rather than a grab hook would be better for the end that
goes around the log.

Allows the chain loop to tighten around the log.


+1-- Grab hook on the 'tractor' end-- slip hook on the log. That
allows you to shorten up the chain if need be.
