Steelsoldier 2020 calendar thread: this is the post you need

After posting, on p[age two of this thread, I went to the first page by clicking on the 1, no clearing cache nothing. Lo and behold, on this page suddenly all contestants show up :cookoo::cookoo:

Closed steelsoldiers site, cleared cache, opened the site, logged in, still only sponsor, no contestants. If I right-click on the image, and try to save the image, the login page pops up and I am told I have to be logged in to do that. However, I was already logged in. Once I login through...

I cleared and redid a lot of things in my PC due to a windows update messing up my local network. However, the problem continues also this morning. Can see the sponsor pic in patracy's first post, but not the contestants.

My laptop has the same problem.

ok this is weird. Until now, inside Patracy's first post, I could see the first image of the sponsor, but not the following images from the contestants. This time I closed the steelsoldiers site, cleaned cache, opened the site again, went without login in to the MV of January page. None of...

I tried that, cleaned cache etc, no dice. Also, I can see the pics for the MV of the Year and other pics without problems, but not those six from Patracy's post. However, when I hover over them and choose "view image" a new page pops up that I have to login first, but that page works strange...

patracy, pics are "broken", can't see them. Other pics are ok, only those in your post.

One and the same. Founded by Addison Ward LaFrance in 1916. What's in a name.

I now see that the boom has not been installed yet, but on one picture it looks like its there already. Nice shot.

Jeff is too modest. Seeing the last additions restoring the boom to his Federal 602 wrecker made the choice very easy. The others are worthy contestants, but this one is special , not many left, and should be saved and honored even if not yet as nicely restored as the others. More details...

Some details of Ward laFrance cranes I collected in Europe. Love to have one. With in German details on the crane and weights when using a block and tackle

US6x4, no "before", "during" and "after" pics?

John, thanks for sharing.

Let me guess, he had a local oil well there as well? Doing 1:1?

Glad its done. Thanks for the very concise answers. My winch (on an M51A2 dump truck), if I see it correct, has only three positions: out-neutral-in Mine is also frozen, reparing it is next on the list now I have the dump system working.

Some questions: CelticLady, did you already figure out which year the truck is from? There is thread by Carnac that can help you narrow it down using the serial number. Do you have the Garwood 20,000 lbs winch? Fasttruck, what winch are you showing here, never saw this clutch winch.

Try explaining that to adolescent males in a group trying to proof that they are cool. Problem is, with too much peer pressure (and/or too much alcohol) they ignore known hazards and doing their best to help ensure the hazard will take place. Safety googles when working with angle grinders...

Can't wait longer, voting now. Later today I will forget to vote, since we are in front of you in time. So Swiss' tan wrecker it is. Not the nicest most perfect restored and repainted, but it touches a snare, if you know what I mean.

To summarize: seatbelts, certainly the modern three-point ones which extra tighten on impact, do save from injuries and death in 99% of the cases. However, there are freak situations where the seat belt may actually hinder your escape and maybe even result in your death while not wearing one...
