Well at 10pm on July 5th someone knocked on my door, it turned out to be my cousin and said he got his pay-loader stuck in the local hole called "The Lenny-Hole", so we got a couple of chain-fall's, some chain, tow straps, and called a few of his friends to come out in their chevys to help out..... So we got in my zuki and headed out to where he was stuck. When we got there the first thing I say was a pay-loader with its 63" tires almost completely submerged in the hole. So we tried the 2 chain-falls and well in the end I think we moved it about 7feet and that’s as far as it would go, so we were forced to call his father to come out with a second pay-loader to pull him out..... After it was out the night ended with him saying, "Hey Mike, I dare ya to go through it!!!” ME:"aaaaa, I’ll do it tomorrow" O and did I mention it was in the middle of a thunder storm?
So we went out to give it a try, well as soon as I dropped into the ruts it got hung up on the rear axle, was getting close to rolling, and the front drive shaft pulled apart.... so now I was in 2wd, and stuck bad....
So I hooked up my little trailer winch with the detachable mount and a snatch block and after ripping my home-made pull-pal out of the ground twice I decided to hook it to a tree a little further down and my brother and my neighbour who came on his 3 wheeler held the back corner to make sure it wouldn't roll and to help push it out.... well about 3 tries and I got it out after my indash winch control stuck in the ON position and I just used the toggle switch that I put in to shut the power off going to the winch to operate it.......
Well there ya have it, all in all it was worth it just to have the pictures......:D :D :D
