Hello,
I'm thinking of setting up a hand powered rope-puller (like a come-along) to pull my Cherokee 235 back into its tie-down, with the rope attached to the tail ring. Usually I can push it back, but sometimes with little ridges of ice in the path it's very difficult. I've seen shops lift the nose by pulling down on that tie-down ring with a tug, so it seems like pulling it back with a hand powered device should be OK... any thoughts?
