Any chance we could work out some kind of deal where we trade labor on 2 man projects? My buddies are real good for drinkin' beer and flappin' their gums ... useless as helpers.
North Texas labor "co-op"?

if you work alone most of the time, do yourself a favor and get yourself a hydraulic wrecker. you'd be amazed what you can now accomplish
my favorite type of wrecker is the Vulcan "Super Cradle". As a towtruck, it's a freaking workout, as a yard goat, it's the best
with the height you have to lift the hood up to and "hold" steady while getting it bolted on, a hydraulic wrecker and proper rigging, the truck will do it without complaint.

That would be great to have around. I've been looking at +- 25 horse diesel tractors with loaders...close to pullin' the trigger. I figure I can pick a cab or bed up with it and I'd use the hell out of it around here anyway (10 acres to keep up with).
Thank you Laserjock. I need that! Where did you get it?
Google hood hoist. There are a couple variants floating around.

get some 2.5" od and some 1.75" od 11ga DOM tubing and build a quickie little 10'+ tall wannabe gantry crane using a come-a-long
I built one 10 years ago, it's handier'n hell for hoods and toppers and boat motors
depending on width and how it's anchored (mine's welded to a couple old rims and has some outriggers) it'll support a fully dressed smallblock
this will let you know if your planned design will support the weight you're looking for

I use my tractors front end loader as my muscle. Removing and installing the bed by myself would have been impossible without it. At my advanced age and debilitated body it is the perfect extension of my arms. It is incredibly useful around the property as well.
hmmm Denton isnt that far for me and I have family up there...
Just let me know. Maybe we can work something out.
