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. |

You do know the trailer has ramps . . . Right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I guess from the unload photo you knew that - glad you got it loaded and unloaded without anyone getting hurt. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I guess from the unload photo you knew that - glad you got it loaded and unloaded without anyone getting hurt. Yup, ramps were in Plan A consisting of a HF hand winch mounted to a hitch extender to pull it up on the trailer along with a HF small furniture dolly under the passenger side frozen wheel and broken suspension arm "combo". Upon arrival and inspection, we were concerned about dragging the "combo" any distance at all as it was literally hanging on by a thread! With the "drive the trailer under it" Plan B method we only had to drag the "combo" about a foot vs 8-10 feet. I didn't think of the "cardboard and furniture skate" Plan C method until I got home. |
