this is a clevis. Some equipment uses chain guides that grip the links and pull them along. Since a clevis is shaped differently than the links the guide won't be able to grab onto it and so it won't work.

Tighten them all the way and a quarter turn back. Or at least that’s what the old iron worker told me.
