M108 towing old ambulance

[Stretch44875]

First time I've used the M108 to tow with. Bolted a set of shackle mounts to the bumper and towed the truck about 6 miles. It's an ambulance that Dad uses for electrical work. Figured I better use the heavy truck since his truck weighs 12000lbs.

Glow plug tip broke off and rattled around in the engine while running. Took the head off and the piston has a bung of little dings in it, but looks okay.

Here's some pics of the snowy tow.

I don't understand why everything is covered in dandruff.

But it's a crane, not a tow truck!!!

Nothing beats weight for slick roads.

Why such a rat's nest on the front end ?

Ever try to wind up 250 foot of winch cable in a blizzard? Easier to just wind it around the bumper. Next time I have it out in warm weather it will get wound nicely.

It would take a lot of moola to make the towbar or M108 leave. Get way too much use out of them.

Hoping to see the white stuff melt away this week. It's been a heck of a snowy winter.
