One of the most frequently asked questions we get is "How did you get it here?"

The engine is transported on a truck with a special heavy equipment lowboy trailer. Permits are required whenever we travel because the load is both over-width and over-weight.

All of our moves have been done by Dave Tunison of Hadley, Michigan. Dave is experienced with hauling heavy loads and has good, well-maintained equipment for the job. He is reliable, flexible, and a pleasure to work with.

The loading of the engine at the end of the event is much of the same procedure you see below, only in reverse.

We have used various means to get the engine on and off the trailer. These include the use of a backhoe, a diesel locomotive, a gas engine car mover, a payloader, a power hoe, a winch, and a wrecker. Some have worked better than others. Our most exciting unloading was done by a new Suburban that did not move fast enough to get out of the way once #75 started down the ramp!
