warricks recovery (pics)

Post by basics »

my brothers mate txt me the other day while at work, and asked for a pull.

he had got his (old mans) ute stuck on a hill which then slid down the back into some pines. the hill was soaked.
after a couple attemps with the snatch strap decided to winch him up, only to find the ####### winch aint going. (is there a fuse with a winch? it makes a clicking sound just dosnt unwind)

in the end used heaps of sticks and pulled him to the top.

here are some pics

The clicking noise your hearing is the solenoids, not a fuse. You may need to just clean the solenoid connections or replace the solenoid packs.
