Not quite sure about the initial text of this thread but things like house, shed and fence are mentioned.
The problem with things like this is that they are often in obscure places, having been placed there many moons ago before things like shed/fence/ house appeared.
I recall several years ago when a neighbour finally finished his sailboat (in his backyard of course). When he started it many years earleir there was nothing behind his home, over the years a subdivision was erected.
Solution: very large crane, spreader bars, a big truck and lots of money to lift it up and over the house out to the street and the waiting float.

Default Empty weigth.....

....around 1500 pounds..... we have moved one at/to the barn.

They are bulky with limited places to lift from or tie to for pulling.

Rolling it on round pipes or logs may be necessary. Outside skin is easily damaged.

Good luck and be safe.

Infact Chris this is the one from Craig Tanner, I bought the truck a few years ago, now I am looking at getting the box out of there, was in tonight and managed to pickup a corner so I am thinking with a few knuckle dragger friends we should be good to go.

Small world...
Did you manage to talk him out of all the 19set stuff that he go too?
I think I sold him everything to set up a radio truck including the antennae masts, guy ropes, ground spikes, kit etc etc.

That box has been around also.
It was at a surplus yard after the war before being bought by the guy I got it from. He had had it for years himself. I then had it several years, it was in storage at my buddy's place and then Craig T got it from me.
Lots of good intentions that never materialized I suppose.
As I recall, the box was fairly decent but I have not seen it for at least 10 years.
I know/knew where there are a couple more out this way.

Its not bad shape, but the floor is pretty seedy, I got the table and a mast and the charging board from him. I picked up another seat for the rear but the big thing will be to reconstruct the Chore horse cabinet and shelving unit.
Him and I traded for an m-38 cdn that I was restoring, I was tiring of doing jeeps as it was my forth one and wanted something different. Plus with his back as bad as it is something smaller was better for him.
