Ok I am happy to make the trip down at 4:00pm. Thanks for the offer of the lift however I will drive ..... I might try and get down to have a look at De Young's before hand. I am guessing the location based off the image provided but am assuming it is next to Tang-Soo-Do Association?

Is there anything that you need me to bring (other than my good looks which come as part of the package )

Good looks will suffice. About to cross the border into south oz

Thanks Dave!


Did you end up loading it with an engine crane??? I may be unloading it with one on my own so any tips are welcome.

Dale when are are you unloading.
As I maybe be able to help out
Given enough time

My tip is to use 2

With a standard crane you realky need to have it at max kg lift which means short reach.

We had some issues with the tail gate on the trailer as it would open but not come off

If you can lift it clear of the trailer floor and drive out from underneath it that is probably the best option.

To manouvre around your work shop you can lower it onto the outrigger legs on your crane and use it as a trolley while the hook still shares the load. Less likely to tip the crane this way.

My biggest advice .... get stinky and Tankstand to give you a hand. Hell if they come and you put on a bbq I'll even be in it

Just a bit of muscle that was all



Damn was meant to photoshop that crane out

But there was still some hard yakka



After it was all said and done the next debate was over the age and if the 'serial number' was part of a date....????



For anyone who might now here is some more i for in the pic

Simplicity - Depending on when it gets to the depo. It will probably be here next day maybe earlier. My neighbour going to bring it back here in his F100, not sure if he will be able to stay to unload or just drop the trailer and head back to work. I have moved since you last came around in case you hadn't realised.


Dave thanks for the tips. You boys are welcome around for a BBQ anytime.

It is a early 1900's machine. Around 1908 from memory, the first ones had locking wheels on the front for a few years, mine has the locking levers on the back. The design was really changed by the 40's so it can't be 1942 if that is what you were referring to.

Hi Dale
I'm available all this week from about 5pm onwards except Thursday at this stage
Ye I know you have moved pm me if you need me
