Looks like Nancy has added some music to the Blog.
Yesterday I went to Davenport,Iowa to pick up a new 1 ton Gantry Crane, I figured it would be kind of hard to get 4 fat guys with strong backs together each time I needed a lift on the truck, so I opted to go this direction. Besides, the crane doesn't drink beer.
No Job Johnny came down this morning and I had all parts off the trailer and out of the crate. The whole thing weighs about 600 pounds. Bob helped me put it all together and also brought me a pulley system to use with it. Had it all together in a couple of hours and I thought that would be it. Bob said "I want to see that cab come off", so we set the crane over the truck and lifted the cab off. Worked great. Next I will use it to pull the engine and transmission.
Marian, My neighbor across the street came over and I told her she could help pull the engine and transmission.
I got the crane first, so I can lift the new compressor off the trailer (loaned by Dean Long) That i'm going to get next week. Lot's more to do before I get started with the sandblasting.
I ordered the new front IFS suspension and rear suspension from Chassis Engineering in West Branch Iowa last week. Should be hearing from them soon to come pick that up.
Nice to have good weather again and back on this project.
Tomorrow i'm gonna ride my Harley.
Boogie til ya Puke.

That crane may not drink beer....but I bet it's not as fun as 4 guys in a garage for an afternoon either. :-)
