Horses and the ATV

Like most stories this time of year, we start by warming up the barn.

The ATV needed some attention. The charging system wouldn't charge and the cooling system wouldn't cool. You wouldn't think this cooling issue would be apparent in winter, but it was.
Gary, the horse guy, helped me find 2 loose wires that fixed the problems, so we decided to add a winch to the ATV so we could "unstuck" it more easily.

I wanted to be able to use the winch from the front or rear so we decided to mount it on a plate that can be attached to the trailer hitch ball.

Then I mounted a ball to the front of the ATV.

Here are the reasons for Gary's interest in the ATV.

It took us several days to make all of the repairs and modifications, but then, I'm retired.
