These were mostly old Willy's wagons and surplus military jeeps.
The guys in the club had one winch between them and it was made to fit on a trailer ball mount... front and rear with a corresponding single positive lead with a arc welder lead and connector... as the winch started to pull it really beared down on the ball mount... simple but effective...
Shade Tree but guys were on a budget back them...
Still remember being about 35 miles out on a gravel/dirt road in Nevada... me and a friend... each with our chevrolet pickups... he left something on and the battery was too weak to start... we were 17 at the time... he wanted me to start my truck and pull the battery out with my motor running so he could use it to start his... I was not going for it unless he insisted and then he was going to start his and then put the battery back into my truck.
Then I got an idea... I drove up to his bumper and pressed against it with my bumper and then took an old t-post that was laying on the ground and touched the positive side of my battery with his and it worked!
Got both trucks started and headed for Minden... by the time we got there his battery had recovered enough.
