[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1509480, member: 32659"] Years ago I was helping change a rear tire on an old International 1066 tractor and the jack we were using kept sinking in the sandy field. We tried a few blocks but couldn’t get anywhere so we decided to use an old F700 winch truck with gin poles the rancher had at the barn to help pick up the tractor. Well I guess the old cable was rotten because as soon as we got a good enough pull to lift the tractor a little bit that cable broke with me standing right next to it. Luckily it went straight up and down and missed me. Scared me bad enough to were I still put a floor mat or jacket on the cable or strap if using one to get something unstuck. I don’t worry too much about chains though. Tractor tire was over 20 yrs ago. [/QUOTE]
