So we went and got my Case LA and 900 ft. of cables and chains and pulled it out.
Finally hook up the batteries in a series to get 24 volts and got the IHC 1066 tractor start. that was yesterday. We moved it about 10 ft. and then she just buried deeper so we quit. this morning it was frozen again 24 deg. so we tried again but could not get that big engine to turn over no matter we did. So i took the Case out and got the my trailer that was behind the 1066 out. almost buried it but you know those old case tractors she just sat right down and pulled though the soft stuff to the harder ground. I thinking maybe summer late summer when its dry and hot out there. I still frozen from this mornings work. Walt
