  1. Andrew said "Keep the clutch disengaged." The engine won't be turning but likely requires someone to be in the vehicle. ALL of the axles must removed to avoid damage to the differential "spider" gears and any limited slip mechanism.
  2. Thanks for the reminders AND the holiday wishes, and a Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year to You and all on TowForce. John
  3. Looks like amid 70's Ranchero in the other bay
  4. Probably could have cut it but still wo-uld have needed to LIFT to get off the posts.
  5. Steep down hill. 55 speed limit. 65-70 not unlikely. Sorry no recovery pics
  6. At approximately 12:30 on a sunny Tuesday afternoon I received a call from the Keene PD to respond to the scene of a vehicle crash on Rt9 West. The officer on scene requested I bring 2 trucks because the car was under the guardrail. Because I am a one-man operation, I called Rob at Bob’s West Swanzey Garage to bring his wrecker to assist. The first attempt to recover the car by just pulling it from beneath the guardrail was unsuccessful because in addition to being under the rail it was also hooked over the fenceposts that it had dislodged on its way to its stopping place. If you look closely at the front-end picture, you can see the tie-down loop hooked over the post. At this point Rob backed his truck in at about 90 degrees to the guardrail & car and lifted the front of the car enough so that I could winch it out from under the rail and onto my flatbed for transportation to my yard. Thankfully the driver was not seriously injured in the crash and stated that a mechanical issue had pulled the car off the road and under the guardrail. For a small operation it is good to have friends who, even though they are competitors, are willing to help occasionally when needed.
  7. Still here in NH. Looks like you will auto-renew me later this month
  8. Do I see a groove in the tread from spinning on a sharp rock??
  9. Great that they are interested
  10. That frame ripping is what happens when you put hooks in holes that were NOT designed for tiedowns.
  11. Still here. Thanks for keeping this site going.
  12. Still here in NH. Be safe out there and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy & profitable New Year.
  13. The load is covered & the lift axles are down so good chance it is loaded.
  14. I would do similar to Grumps, a minimum fee for a M/D vehicle plus $ per foot over 20 feet
  15. One truck with trailer. The 3 cars are just along for the ride.
  16. Are those trying to use the discount putting two numbers "0" instead of one number "0" and one letter "O" ?
  17. Just saw that I had won something on 05-26-2020. Probably too late to claim. Large if a tee and not too late. Thanks for being there. Hope everyone is staying safe.
  18. I don't remember seeing an invitation but please add surrytower to the den
  19. I agree, size of the job/load determines the price/rate not the size of the tow truck. Always enjoy your recoverys.
  20. Bring the family to Hampton Beach State Park this weekend May 18 &1 9, 2019. The weather is going to be great. Come see new trucks, accessories, roadeo, beauty contest, tow truck parade, demos, raffles. Visit with old friends and make new ones. Visit with NH Highway enforcement officers for information without a ticket. Scales will be available if you want to weigh your truck for free.
