Duke, I though the axle tubes never see oil unless your axle seals fail? Also, we did leave some paint on the gasket surfaces here and there, but I make my own gaskets out of thicker gasket paper and then use a gasket sealer on both sides - have done many this way and never had a leak. I custom cut the chains to fit tight on the tires when deflated so that once they are inflated, you can hardly move them. I'm sure that most of the links will work there way in between the lugs, but have had great experience in the past doing it this way (no need for bungies to pick up the lack in loose chains). Looking forward to seeing my boy push some snow! Cheers.
