I have one out by the shed myself waiting it's turn for a quick sandblast. There are a couple more floating around at work, but that would be expected as I work at an artillery museum.
These days the weapons techs use chain comealongs for pullbacks on the smaller guns. One told me they ordered the comealong and got sent one of these old things which they promptly disposed of. The larger guns use a electric over hydraulic pullback.

Pull back find
Spent a beautiful cool fall day, scrounging, sniffing, and we came up with this beauty. The piece is much larger and heavier than I imagined, still missing the hand operating lever. Now for the stuff I love, freeing it up to make it operational. Non the less a great piece of 17 pdr. artillery tool kit for the FAT. See pics. Cheers Rob

That's it Rob,
 very good find indeed. I can take some pics and measurement's of my handle if you like so then you could make one up.This pull back was a standard issue and used with most medium Artillery 17,25 pdr etc. Rob.....................rnixartillery. Last edited by rnixartillery; 27-07-19 at 20:59.

I just dragged home 120 Bren chests from the scrapyard today to go with the 110 I dragged home a couple weeks ago. Still about another 100 scrapped ones out there I have to grab the hardware off of. They have those same swivel hasps as used on things like artillery tractor bins, and various transit chests ranging from sniper chests to vickers and mortar chests.
So gradually the yard is making it's way here.
