Hi guys, I'm picking up a inop roller 914 tomorrow in Louisville KY. I'm looking for ideas for loading this 914 on a U-Haul car transport trailer. It will likely be just my wife and I and we may need some mechanical assistance to load it.
Q: Has anybody figured out a way to temporarily mount a hand crank boat winch on said U-Haul trailer? Another potential 914 parts car has a broken passenger side suspension console. Any ideas for loading that on a U-Haul trailer would be appreciated as well. |

Maybe you can use a come-along instead of a winch? It's the same sort of thing as a winch, but has a hook on the end of the ratchet section.

Yes - like that - but with potentially no front tow hook you may be tempted to use the rear tow eye. Don't do it. Don't tow/trailer a 914 backwards - you'll blow out the rear window and maybe blow off the roof, too.
