KENtucky, someone already built a Cub "wrecker", Travis built a sleeve hitch one and I believe Rich P. built a CAT-0 version. Here's the one Travis built.

As my Papaw said ,"It'll do if you can't do no better".
I'd prefer a set of booms and a winch copied off a Holmes.
That extended cub with the firewood in the box bed would be a good one to build it on.

This one?

Here's a better pic of the boom/hoist.

Kraig - Yup

Mike - I see green in the shed

Somewhere I've got a screen capture from a lawn mower race I taped years ago and it gave a glimpse of a LG tractor that they were using as a wrecker with some kind of gizmo on it ... but I can't find it on here. It must be on a disc.

KENtucky, I saw that too!

We got about 4" of the white stuff last night, so I thought I would try my hand at doing some video from inside the cab.

And right after a big blast of snow came, I saw this through the windshield! Scart the HEdoubleL out of me, so I quit and went to the house!

I better take some lessons from Kraig and hone my video skills a LOT!

Charlie, we got some snow last night too. I won't get a chance to clear it out until late tonight, 11:00PM or so, or tomorrow evening. Not too bad on the video. That last one scared me too!

I seen something like that once when I ran into a buzzard. It's wings were spread all the way out and hit right on the windshield.
Brings back horrible memories ... I'm scared for life now
