Hi Martin buddies.
How in the heck do you get a lonestar goliad out of the ground?
The lowest stake seems to be sunk in concrete and then the first long section slides onto it just above the winch. Danged if I can figure how to separate these sections. do I need to chisel thios out of the ground and work on separating sections afterwards? I like to bust my sacral-illiac trying to get this started. T-14 comes off the ground stake just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks much,
Bill

Try penetrating oil and tapping on all sides with a rubber mallet, if that don't work use a heat gun on all sides you might get the metal to expand a little, then oil it again. Wiggle the pole above the joint to help break it loose. Make sure it isn't held in place with set screws first, look for a tiny hole with a small set screw, often flush with the metal or inside just a tad.

well two questions.
I'm looking for lonestar goliad installation instructions now so I can pass this on.
getting that ground pole out of this sucking clay was not easy for this old reprobate. dug as much as I could. You have to cut the clay off the shovel with a knife after each spadeful. Digging bar helped a good deal. finally wrapped a strap around the thing and then around my hands a couple times and just pulled u7ntil either me or the suction gave up. I won this time.
is this ground socket two pieces for this? It looks like two pieces but I can't remember. I'll try to get the thing apart later if its supposed to be 2.
thanks,
Bill
