Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
WARNING ALERT!!!!!!!!..
This is a warning to everyone with a lift..
Im trying to keep my mind occupied ,
so I sanded the cab to get ready for paint..found some spots that will need reprimed.., that comes later
while I was at it, I thought I'd look to see what it was gonna take to do exhaust , so i ran the truck up on the lift
Scoped out what needs done, and was gonna let the truck back down to ground level..just dont like leaving it unattended, 6ft off the ground..so, I hit the start button to release the lock...when I let off the button..it kept going..
Believe me the upper safety bar has no effect when the contactor is stuck....before I could run across the shop and pull the breaker, the damage was done.. I think there is a crease on the top of the cab...dont know for sure..to mad to look...and i know the cowl section is bent..
As if I needed any more drama in my life right now....
There WILL be a disconnect mounted on my lift right beside the go button, before it gets turned back on..
I hit the contact several times with a hammer before it came loose..
So a new contactor will also be orderd..
