Henry & Others, we used a lift kit to raise our overhead garage door an 
extra 10" so we could get our camper in our garage (early 60's).  Raised the 
tracks and open garage door; worked great and was not very expensive.
A less desirable solution may be sawing a couple groves an inch deep in your 
concrete floor just below the garage door;  would need to be at least 6' 
long.

Thursday I made it home, with the help of a friendly neighbor with 4 wheel
drive.  (The second neighbor the first couldn't pull me either). Then the
skid loader didn't start: ice had blocked the shutoff in the off position
and I couldn't get it pulled out enough.

got that started Friday, and plowed out.  Now it sits in front of the
garrage, not starting: for reasons I don't understand yet.  I think if I ran
the starter long enough it would start.  Assuming the battery has enough
power and the starter takes that much abuse.

I know there is one bad glow plug: I have to remove the oil filter to get it
out though, not a project for today. I can't get enough leverage to budge
it.  (This is an isuzu c201 engine, not the original - by all reports a
great engine)

I found there is a hydrolic leak that didn't show up while test driving it.
I'll be working on that next I guess.  Probably time for new hoses on a
machine that old. (If I had money i'd have got a nicer machine - but then
I'd wouldn't have a 2 wheel drive truck either.)

Next job is remove the roll cage, then I can get it into the heated garrage
and take care of all that.  (Just need on more inch to get in as is.

The over eating and napping can come latter, I got a project now.
