That was the sort of answers that had me slinging mine under the lower

basket a snug fit around the leg and up you go.


That was going to be my next option if I couldn't locate the lifting
eye. Now that I did it once, I feel more comfortable doing it without a
crane. I'll use the ol' "Lower the rear of the trailer as far as it
will go, hook a chain to the lifting eye, secure to a thick tree bough,
remove the bolts, raise the rear of the trailer, rebolt" method to move
my motor down a notch.

I've got a nice maple in the back yard that should be perfect.

Should go a lot faster than trailering an hour up to Manitowoc to use
the overhead crane.

I rigged a lifting eye over the garage door for stuff like this. It is
hanging on the lower chord of the truss, right against the wall.
