I've been getting a little seat time with the yellow 644 in the last few days - as many of you mentioned it's quite handy for moving stuff around the yard.
First modification was a pair of D rings on the upper bucket webbing,
Really handy having a dedicated anchor point for chains and shackles...
I've finished the teardown of one of my old, rusty Sidekicks
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/yahoo/2.gif)
all that was left was the drivetrain - so much of the frame and body had disintegrated - final cleanup was shovelling rust flakes and chunks off the lawn afterwards
I was happy that the 644 could actually lift the engine/transmission/transfer case up and out of what was left of the frame.
Unfortunately the ass end was a little light and traction was non-existent - doing a 1 wheel burn out and leaving a shiny brown skid mark in the yard.
After the powertrain was out I was able to pick up and move the remainders of the frame and continue removing front axle parts
Back for a 2nd try at the powertrain, with the same results, even after filling the weight box with more concrete pavers
- I probably could have moved if I had a set of chains on the tires (maybe)
...and there it sits - plan "B" is to split engine/trans and move the parts separately, I just didn't want to be kneeling down on the ground fighting with the bolts...
BTW, engine + transmission + transfer case probably weighs around 375 llbs
