Re: Bringing home 69 Pete

There's trucks that don't have anymore protection than mine but most of the everyday oil field rigup trucks have alot more structure above the winch. I had 2 days to get that 955 moved or lose it so we were up aganist the wall on this one. It was kind of a learning day to see what the winch would pull, it looks like the pressure relief opens before it breaks the 3/4 cable so thats good. I knew something had to give so everyone was in the clear, ramps are to steep to pull 40,000. I need more practice dropping the gooseneck on the ground, we wouldn't have broke anything and wouldn't have needed the snatch block. On the red and white pete I believe its a 280, they just call them an iron nose pete because of the different radiator shell, I saw this truck at the Brooks Oregon ATHS show last year, they don't get any nicer.
