JD, you right, as always.lol. When we drove our pins out of the OC 46, we drilled a hole into a 1 inch plate, and tacked a coupling on it,and used a pin to drive out the old ones.. Everything on the Cletrac, we photographed and put it on disk, We didn't use any heat on it at all. knowing what we know now, we would have used a propane torch we finally bought from Harbor freight with the push button ignitor, it is used with a 20 # propane tank and a 6 ft hose.

Talk about heat, we melted the ice off our Mt Fujiyama driveway we have ( over 100 ft long), so we could pull up our outside wood furnace with our 92 F150 4x4 on a trailer,had to make sure we made it one time. It took the less than 1/4 tank of fuel to melt the ice off the driveway. The furnace weighs 2160 Lbs,plus the weight of the trailer, had to get it close to the garage so we could unload it with the loader.Got it unloaded and set on 2 skids and tarped for the rest of the winter, have to start buying parts for the furnace, i.e. 2 pumps, insulated lines and heat exchangers, one for house and one for garage.
Had a 75 plow truck,I bent the mount on it by hitting a stump.Used a torch like we bought and within 10 minutes it was glowing red and easier to bend back. My Son in law liked it so much he bought one for himself to un-thaw his well pipe. He said it only took 5 minutes.

It's surprising the little Oliver lifted the furnace with hydraulics and set it on the skid. The guy we bought it off of used a JD 4020 to load it up on the trailer, he had skid forks on his tractor and a low front tire. We have 4 pallet jack forks outside of the garage, one set for us the other for my Son in Law, to use on bucket.He bought him a smaller JD tractor MFWD .
I am sure heat would be of great assistance, although we didn't have it at that time.

We're trying to get our system with a conveyor to load wood on the truck to make it easier, thats a spring job.

I have say with all honesty, without family or good friends, it would be dang near impossible to complete projects that makes life more comfortable for us.

You and Adirondack Case Guy posts have been a great help to us, so keep posting,you are loaded with a unbelievable amount of information.

Warmest Regards,
LOU
