[QUOTE="carl johansson, post: 9817, member: 1208"] OK guys, I completed the engine swap - but ran into a problem throughout the process - and that is - there is no neutral - you want to move one of these things - you need to drag it everywhere! I thought after the engine and hydraulic pump were removed - I could roll it around - no such luck! (BTW - once you put the safety in place to hold the lift arms , you can't release it - I ended up opening the hydraulic line connection and lifting - that allowed me to clear and remove the safety so I could put the arms back down - but then how do you retighten the hydraulic lines?) Eventually i went and borrowed an old towing dolly off an old hooker style tow truck, used the running 763 to lift the front - placed the dolly, then went around to the back and used a chain through the tie down point and lifted the rear wheels off the ground then pulled it to where I wanted it. Fun - yeah - but there has to be an easier way! Carl johansson [/QUOTE]
