Look at that knot they use for nets, rig 4 up leads and make the 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. |
