Yes i also had soft strap looped through the serpentine belt that was around tree. I have a couple 2 " x 48" braided lifting straps that construction guys have given me. I keep them clean and use on trees "or clean things".
-
I use them also like on the tree they don't damage what they are tied to.
-
I have a couple of serpentine belts that i kept. They are excellent for tieing off and hitching.

with the movable block at the gravely the winch had an easier pull. The snatch block has a 5 inch diameter pulley so not much strain there.
-
Darn I was looking at snatch blocks but got Grandpa's Monster gravely stuck with wheels off the ground i a ditch. . Wheels completely off ground with mower deck and rear frame on ground. I only had the big snatch block, so i hooked the winch poly rope to Tulip Poplar tree and rigged running Block on gravely hitch , We always called that a simple moving block. The Gravely weights close to 800 lbs and it was a dead weight pull for first few inches as wheels were just hanging free. The Tulip Popular tree did not budge and Foreman drug him out. Foreman has a 3500 lb winch.

Yeah using the remote i could weave the poly rope back into spool. It does not jam now. My friend had a 12 vdc tugger winch on his boat. It was like tugger winches used to pull cables through conduits but 12 vdc. those are great to use on long pulls but have not found an inexpensive one.
-
OK I found one! The web site said it was for poly cable. The "spool' was flat in the bottom instead of round . But stressed ordering proper size based on poly rope.
-
Speaking of winches...My 3500 lb winch easily pulled Foreman instead of the tree limb I had him attached to. Its a poly rope. I would lie to have a 'snatch block' that i could fasten the load to and hook winch to a tree (Runner block). The snatch block I have is steel. It is sized for a 1/2 rope. I guess it would not abrade the poly rope?

When you pein the rivets they swell up and fill the hole. Really tight! -
BTW statistics show that most vehicle fires are from faulty electrical wiring...Usually from ad on accessories...LOL... I know you guys have stressed proper wiring a lot..

I use rivets to fasten sheet metal parts together. Rivets are cheap, hold tight and are almost flush with surface. I used 10 penny nails as rivets here.

True But I would not want to catch the woods on fire.
-
Yes i guess for the Sandrail i would want it pointed at the motor for quick activation however, removable also. Some ABC extinguisher have caustic chemicals that require washing off to prevent damage.
-
I found new replacement hi tech pads that are soft and pliable . However, it gets hard on impact. ..wow
-
that would work on my Rail and SXS. What about ATV...?? I would think just ansmall extinguisher?
-
That is obvious! I should have thought of that. I could attach so the release would be just above my head. When sitting in harness with straps across my shoulder I cannot reach around to the side but I can reach up.
-
We should explain for those who do not know...Suburban is a private several sq mile area of native Florida with no rules. If fact the Sherrif does not go there ...of course the Sherriff and his wife are currently in jail LOL
-
You must have a Ballistic vest...!!!
-
fuel pump is below tank. The firewall would be between the fuel pump and the motor. So I can access the SO (Shut off ) valve and check for any leaks at fuel pump. VW motor is magnesium alloy ..burns hot! dont use water!
-
There is one that is aluminum and another that is injection molded nylon...I could use it as a firewall on the Sandrail with a fir extinguisher .

LOL...like Walter Brennan says in his song : "Life gets tedious, don't it" -
Here is panel that can be mounted in the SXS so I can mount fire extinguiher and other things on that.
-
I am looking at a fire extinguisher for the ATV, The SXS and my Sandrail. I guess an ABC is best. however the mounting must be secure and easily accessible . I think I will mount the one on the sandrail so it is pointing at the motor. Some manufacturers make "non corrosive" ABC fire extinguishers. For the sand rail I would want that. My gas tank is just behind my seat as seen in picture.

Gooood Morning Macedonia …I am reminded this day as my close friend, a professor of Greek antiquities, always celebrates this day. On this day in 336 BC Alexander III of Macedon was named King of Macedon on the occasion of his father King Phillip’s assassination. Alexander III united the Greek City states creating the great Hellenistic period of cultural expansion. Art and war were at its zenith. Glass blowing was invented, Gold and bronze vessels are still in museums and sought by collectors of antiquities. My friend had several. Alexander III, AKA, Alexander the Great!
