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. |

Hit the easy button and hire a flatbed. I just did it with one of my cars yesterday.
I’ve picked up cars with locked up calipers. The winch on the flatbed moves the car whether or not the wheels roll. Attached image(s) |

The winch on the flatbed moves the car whether or not the wheels roll. Tempted, but car is 4+ hours away. It would be a hella tow bill! We're making the trip up and back in 1 day. Leaving at 4 AM. |
