[AJD] Question

[rgreermi]

Louis, I had a cart made from plans either out of Green mag or the 2 
cylinder mag to put the tractor on minus the wheels. The only problem with 
its too big . THe welder i had make it read it wrong. Its beautful and the 
tractor is down to the axle and trans and that is it. I have the trans 
braced with 2 - 6 ton jacks and 4x4s till i get the frame back in. The 6 ton 
jacks are sitting on the frame of the cart. I do wish i still had that plan. 
I can move the cart whereever i pllease for i got the steel casters and I 
would guess it weighs over 1000 lbs without the tractor. I will be able to 
stand on it to work the cylinders and head back on. After this project is 
done I will be adding hydraulic jacks and updating it. Thaanks everyone for 
your input and if any questions I will get back with you. Have a great 
weekend. Richard
