    N's driving on ice

    N's driving on ice

    FuddyDuddy and oldtanker can you guys kind of run the rest of us thru the air bag lift process. I"m particularly interested in the rigging that will be required with the tractor sitting in water FOUR feet deep. Just how much lift can we expect to see?
