I was using my chain come-a-long today to lift the stabilizers up on the backhoe frame on the back of my cat. I had the frame(less boom) there to straighten the broken mount and the hyd's weren't hooked up. I needed to get through 2 1/2 ft. deep snow. Anyway, after I had the stabilzer lifted, I flipped the lever to loosen the come-a-long and went to let off the tension just a bit. All of a sudden the chain went right back through the come-a-long, ripping off the ring on the end of the chain in the process and the darn stabilizer cam crashing down on my toes. OUCH! Luckily the stabilzer didn't sit flat on the ground or I think I would have had a couple broken toes. I went to lift the other stabilizer with the come-a-long and it wouldn't hold the load in the lift mode. Has anybody ever had to replace a clutch/holding dog on a chain come-a-long or heard of one failing? I loosened the hydraulic lines and there wasn't that much weight on the come-a-long. I think it's a Westward 1 1/2 ton, very similar to an Orange BeeBe(sp)model. Dave

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
