I agree with KrisHamilton on the jacking up onto some planks, to skid it out. I had my carrier recovered recently from a rough area. If you want, I can send you the pictures of the recovery?It may give you some idea`s.

A little off this issue, but still on the same topic. A toy for some a across the way, who may need some recovery assistance, check this out it, might do the trick.. E bay # 330384860695

Default Recovery Pics?

Hi Doug

Could you post some of your recovery pics for all of us? I always need more ideas - even if I can't put them to use...yet.

Thanks

Randy Croke

Not being funny but i would try backing the brakes off and see if giveing it a tug with a 4x4 on a solid bar A frame makes it move,the tracks should free off thats how i freed my tracks if not split the tracks nothing to loose.

Default carrier recovery

When I began restoration of my mortar carrier I bought a parts carrier which was on tracks and bogies but missing armor etc. -to free up the tracks I put it in neutral and pulled it around my property here with my tractor -the tracks freed themselves -I think being pulled 5 or 10 miles out of the bush will do it more good than harm-don't overdo it lest you harm the transmission

thanks everyone for your ideas this will help me alot. it is nice to hear that some of the tracks did free up. i dont want to jump the gun but being optomistic on this recovery is a must.
thanks again
