Hi All;
      A friend just purchased a "baby" Frick, and is looking for a way to
get it home. The
engine is near Fremont, Ohio, and needs to be brought to Camillus, New York,
just
west of Syracuse. Weight is between 12,000 and 13,000 pounds, according to
catalog
figures. He has a Dodge 600 and a three axle trailer, but both are a little
rough to trust
this load to for this distance. Any ideas on how to get her home? If he does
decide to
try and haul himself, what regulations are we going to have to deal with, if
any? Is there
a company that rents suitable equipment for a one way run, or is there a
"Traction engine
friendly" trucking company any of you use? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
