The Mud Pit > Wrenching

last night i noticed a coolant leak....so i mounted a tow hook instead.

(1/2) > >>

PaulW:
turned out to be my radiator, i was at advanced ordering my new one, and saw this in the clearance bin...



but of course i couldn't get that without this...



i thought "that hook would be a nifty thing to put on while i'm waiting for my radiator to come in". so i drilled a couple holes, took some flat stock to sandwich the frame, and what do you know??  instant recovery capability.  this should work perfect for pulling cars out at the mall :D

got the flat stock..


bolted it up...




i'm going to have to get a piece of 1/2 flat stock so i can lower it down a little, i think the strap may bend my bumper if i make a hard pull, but i'll have to find out, after i cut the grass this weekend there's a stump i need to remove, maybe we'll try that shiny new strap on the stump :D.  but for 4.99 for a rear recovery point i can't complain.  there were some cheap tow ropes with hooks in the clearance bin, but i left them there.  come to think of it, they would have probably been good for the yard tractor.

o! that was a low blow... but i don't get stuck. just bring a chain saw so u can cut down all the trees in a 3 mile radius so i don't hit them doing 20mph

reptile610:
