Sep 30, 2007 - It followed me home
|
An untidy repair
|
All the pieces are there - the handles are in a box inside the truck
|
|
And the clapper claps freely. The electrics are well done with a 220VAC 1hp motor
|
I was very surprised to see this cover in place - all the screws match
|
The motor hanger and pully arrangement are well done - sturdy if not handsome
|
|
And the original post-mounted vise is included - with handle
|
Oct 8, 2007 - Sizing it up - it's big, heavy, and shaped oddly to boot.
|
A strategy evolves - Throw enough chains and hooks at it and it can't fail.
|
|
Dual winches to fine tune the balance point.
|
It's up, it's stable, it's time to get'er done.
|
The boom makes it look easy - just plucked it out of the truck.
|
|
It's a lot more balanced with so many of the pieces removed.
|
It's battened down and ready for the move.
|
This is an excellent way to move heavy stuff.
|
|
It was a close fit to get the boom into the garage.
|
It's on the pipes ready for that last push.
|
Just another nudge and it's finished.
|
|
That's it - it's home.
|
Some of the handles that have been cleaned up, deburred, and painted.
|
The wife said to look important, so I did.
|
|
That didn't work so she's got me standing on the other side with an admonition to not look stupid. Not sure that worked, either.

The cover plate after
