[AT] Tractor hauling

[DAVIESW739 at aol.com]

I unloaded an loaded a lot of heavy equipment at Fort Ord over the 13 years  
that I worked there. We were Lucky as we had a ramp and a 20 ton crane in the  
shop. I can feel for you sometimes its real hairy getting that stuff off or 
on a  trailer bed.
The neat thing was getting a 60 ton tank in on a low boy with  enough tires 
to open a tire shop. 
On occasion we had to get the 25 ton crane  from the Engineers shop to unload 
an item.  
One time I had to load an old D-8 that the engine was not running on. I  used 
the pony engine to move it. The blade was cable operated and the brake for  
the cable was out so I had to keep one hand on the lever to keep the blade up  
one on the clutch lever one on the steering clutches and one for everything  
else, You kind of run out of hands sooner or later.
