[QUOTE="Opie11, post: 250836, member: 323"] Had the hitch chained up to a gooseneck ball in a pickup bed. Hooked onto the rims of the rear axle as that was about all we could get to. I'm going to have to get the story on how they got the hitch up onto the pole that's blocking it as that was one of the days I couldn't help out. They told me what they did at the time, but I'm old and forget details! Once we had it lifted as high as we could we tried pulling with the pickup. Hung a another pole across the back of it chained to the frame. Ran a chain from each side of that back to the gantry frame vertical supports and pulled. Didn't work real well because as soon as the chained up pickup couldn't pull it spun an hole a foot deep in the soft ice. So we chained up one side and took the winch from there and chained it in the back of the pickup and pulled it with that. That worked a lot better.
