I used to pit with a NASCAR Craftsman Truck team, low budget so we swapped engines alot... roll in the garage 35min. later roll out of the garage!

What size tractor is that in the middle photo? I have one that looks the same and didn't think it would move the boat......

Me too. I can r & r mine in about 3 hours. My buddy has a similar truck, but much shorter boom. Only problem is its an hour drive from me. So I guess 5 hours total.

Where I live that 3 hours of time saves 600-1000 bucks!

Anthony...............what did you do now ????

I hope you can get those things back in just as fast.

Im curious as to why you pulled BOTH motors ???

Its a BX 23 Kobota.I welded up a mount for the front and used existing holes in the frame.I made the ball changable and I use the tractor to move all my trailers around the yard.That is my garage the boat is parked in front of.I have 1.5 inches on each side to get the boat into the door.No way I could do it with the truck,so I made this work.Works perfect :D :D
PS I tapped a wire into my head light switch and to trailer so I can lock out brakes in reverse by just turning lights on.

Re: Best pulled motor times
 

Great news, I had a feeling it would work out just fine.
That was very nice of you to pull the motors so Cathy could clean the bilge :eek: :drink:
