    Yep, there can be a lot of dead weight there when it gets off balance, just be really careful and "borrow" as much extra help as you can get depending on the size. And JPete, I think he said it doesn't run so he'll be pushing dead weight.

    Thanks Mechanic. If that is the case, lay it on its side and either dollies or handtruck it on ramps into the bed. No sense in having that thing upright if it is for scrap. A lot safer that way even though it takes up more room.

    If you are going to use 2 by material you definetly should lay a piece of ply over it to spread the weight.

    Good luck.
