i DO have a gantry crane.
only issue is to move it i needed the truck it kinda takes up alot of space even dis-assembled.
since the truck was already loaded that was a problem.
my solution probably has my sweetie spinning in her grave and planning to haunt me.
i used the post holding the privacy fence above the garage(it has a flat roof) as a pick point.
i wrapped two load straps around that as my rigging span sets were also in woodbridge.
i hooked my come along to that and wound two more load straps around the body of the machine.
i lifted it and let it hang a few minutes about 1/2" over bed of truck to test the rig.
seemed ok so i moved the truck lowered the machine onto a furniture dolly and put it in the garage.
i only scratched the finish on the aluminum trim a little bit but over all that is an excellent pick point.
i'll be using again.
NONE OF THAT WOULD'VE BEEN OK while marjorie was still alive.
first off i'd never be loading tools into the garage.
she had a strange theory that garages are for parking cars in and that's it.
anyway i did good , nobody in the hospital , machine safely on the ground and truck back at moms.
of course i totally spaced getting the brake part as i was pretty tired.
this stupid flu damage is just hanging out making me cough and get tired quick.
a little better each day though.
i'll be there tomorrow hopefully i'll remember to get the stupid brake.
i also have the steering wheel emblem that mike everin sent you when he sold the kart.
that's what i forgot in the list.
today,
my electrician finished running a fifty amp jumper panel into the garage.
now i can power up the big compressor and welder stuff.
bwa ha ha
only thing stopping me from moving any more tools right now is i still don't have title to the house.
a buddy suggested NOT moving anything else over till i get the title .
there might be a debate coming at me from her brother about me getting the house.
the house is supposed to be mine but who knows.
so now i have to wait for probate before i get anything else done.
here's a pix of my machine the seller sent me.
i'm too lazy to go out and take my own.
as you can see for the 500.00 i paid I HAD TO BUY IT.
it's about perfect looks hardly used and the blade has zero chips dull spots or any damage!
he had bought it in auction as a lot and didn't need/want the step shear.
His camaro in the backround is a mint 1967 set up as a grudge racer.
had a big block in it and was really clean.
