Getting the motor and trans out of the yard


You can see here, the dead area of grass in the yard at the end of the drive way. I had the bus hanging out over the grass and over the last two years it killed it from its shadow. I had also cut the engine cradle while it was still bolted together and let it hit the ground here and then just pulled the bus off of it to rebuild the frame work and cradle. Needless to say when it came time to get the engine outta the yard it became impossible to jack up the 3000 lbs up with anything. So I got the bright ideal of backing the new bus back over it and using the bus itself as a hoist to get the motor back on flat ground.
