The good crane truck man swung the chassis around, back and forth and eventually broke the remaining woodwork.
The little crane could only lift one end on then the other of the main chassis
All in all a bit of a battle to get them loaded.
What have I got? Besides a big ingrown stump?
Well
One good chassis, less the front cross member which is rusted away
A rusted chassis, with a new bolted in cross member
Two transfer cases (unknown quality)
One gear box (full of water, until I moved the shaft, then the rear seal leaked the water out)
One motor (stuck and sump full of water)
One steering box (full of water, and now dismantled to find both bearings are rusted away, but the reciprocating balls and teeth are good!)
3 front diff assemblies (unknown quality, one set appears to have the backing plates and drums freshly painted)
3 rear diff assemblies ( unknown quality, one set painted, one set has no diff centre)
All brake drums stuck to the linings and do not move
4 fresh sandblasted and painted wheels
one fuel filter
one under chassis pintle hook assembly
enough rusty springs to make 4 goodies (I hope)
and some rusty tail/front shafts
Oh, and a front with a good bonnet, grille and a front bumper
What have I done now? Seemed like a good idea at the time!
