Well it worked!

Reminds me of the time, 25 years ago, I was taking a load of

calves to the Toronto Stockyards in my goose neck tandem trailer.

The shackle bolt on the trailer's back axle, driver's side,

broke when I was on the edge of the city and there I was

with the axle angled back far enough so that the tire was

rubbing on the frame.

On the side of Hwy 401 or maybe Eglington St., no less.

Luckily, I had in the back seat of my pickup a come-along like

the one in your picture so I used it to pull the axle back into

alignment and finished the trip on a "come-along and a prayer".

And didn't meet a DOT that trip!

Those were the days . . .
