    Rory is a heck of a guy. I broke a passenger side knuckle on my Ford king pin Dana 60 on the first day of a 2 week Moab trip. We called Rory, and he said, "I probably have one on the shelf, come on by and we'll have a look" So he helped us find one on his shelf, and he told us to take it out there and swap it on, and if it works out, come back and pay him later. I got off the trail, and someone had drilled the taper out to a Chevy tie rod taper. Again, Rory handed me a bunch of adapter sleeves, and let me use his shop to get an adapter sleeve and reamer to make it right for my Ford tie rod end. Would have been a way bigger pain in the ass without his help, but instead, it was all sorted out in an afternoon.

    Quick tip: With newer Fords, When the battery dies and the vehicle needs to be jump started. It will automatically put the vehicle in limp mode. So as soon as you have enough charge in the battery. Shut it off and then restart it. This will automatically take it out of limp mode.

    If you are spinning your tires in snow, you better be hitting dirt quick or you will be creating ice under your tires. Sometimes the best way to get out of snow is slow and steady. Keep your tires tight and take your time. Quite the opposite of mud and sand. This from a driver that grew up at 8000 ft in Colorado.

    In the last half year or so it seems like each recovery is hairier than the last.

If the next one is harder it is going to be unimaginable. I'm okay digging and hauling stuck F350s out of snow (before I retired) but getting them away from the edge makes me want to climb in bed and pull the covers over my head. Getting the skid steer and dump truck out is out of the league even for most people who are out of _my_ league. Super props, guys!

    • @forestkirk6761
      @forestkirk6761 2 года назад +9

      I see what you mean in a normal bulldozer the sprocket is always in the back. This would put stress on only a few feet if track at any given time. The top of the track is actually supposed to have a small amount of slack the main idler would have no load on it. In Matt's snow cat it's pulling on the entire length of the track on top and putting a ton of force around the idler wheel. I think the tracks are fixed to the frame front and back. It would be nice if they could pivot in the front. Better traction and ride on rough ground.

    • @QUIX4U
      @QUIX4U 2 года назад +5

      True.
      As the "pulling power" of tracks is ALWAYS on the part of the track - that gets PULLED by the rear/sprocket - not one at the front which ONLY drags the upper track and has SLACK TRACK (under the vehicle) if a frontal driver is used.
      Anyone who has "ever" used any sort of TRACKED vehicle, knows the best "grab/pull" effort of the tracks is IMMEDIATELY BEHIND (coming towards the sprocket/driver) than the slack section immediately in front of the driver-axle - where the "slack track" is simply shoved ahead with ZERO pulling power.
