Learn in and out on your winch

[rice]

I saw this truck for sale today. Somebody had the winch hooked to the bumper. He evidently put it in gear the wrong way and bye bye bumper.

LOL< looks like the bumper did on my M52A2. Probably 1 man winching or trying to winch from outside the truck...good way to get hurt.

When I hear metal bending, I tend to stop the winch and see what is going on........

Why is it that the dump trucks always get trashed?

Check out the pic below. Looks almost like the one Rick has above. I was looking at buying it awhile back. IIRC, asking price was ~ $5000 - not bad for a running 5-ton dump. . . but that thing had been "rode hard and put away wet"

Look closely at the winch and bumper . . . . if that's how they take care of it . . . . . .

Just goes to show ya how strong them shear pins are. The cable snapped on my wrecker when the prevous owner had someone uneducated helping him. Just got a complete new cable for it.

It sure looks like the same truck, but the one I looked at was in Jesup Ga.
