# How to Remove the Chain From a John Deere LA145 Mower
If you own a John Deere LA145 model mower that you drive over slick surfaces with, then you may have tire chains installed. Tire chains are metal chain links that connect to the tires, either front or rear, and are commonly used with snow blowers and sometimes used with mowers. The tire chain links also help provide traction for the tires. If you no longer need the chains on your tires, you can manually remove them at any time.
