A friend of mine collects junk from various places, and he has a hydraulic pump and ram mounted at the rear of the truck bed, in the outer corner. He hooks onto say an engine block, then pumps the thing until it raises the heavy object, and then he can swing/pivot the whole thing around, and deposit the object in the bed of his truck. The pump and ram look just like one from a hydralic jack from an engine crane, as used by car mechanics, or who-ever. NOTE: If you use the electric winch plan, you could mount the winch on the bottom of the boom assembly, so it could turn with the boom. The electric cable should be flexible enough to turn with the boom. Your idea has many merits, including the omission of much heavy lifting that you would have to do, if you didn't work up your idea. On another note, one day, i bought a wrecked Ranger pickup, and had to flat-bed it home about 20 miles. A friend had a beaver-tail equipment trailer, so he and i took it to where the truck was, and he used one of those Harbor Freight electric winches, and pulled the truck right up and into the trailer, with seemingly little effort. And, operated it with a 12 volt truck battery! So go-follow your plans! It sounds good to me. by: Rusty Jones, the mower man.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
