Made a 2x6 beam extension. Figured it out on the fly. Saw something like this on YouTube but couldn’t remember details. Balance point slightly off but a couple blocks on drive side of beam would have helped. But it didn’t matter. It pivots - no one around. Lifted it, rolled frame back, lifted and pushed with one hand and tilt to clear shifter and emergency brake, slowly let down. Easy peasy. Didn’t need bodies - it was just an easy one man show. Yay! Beerthirty now. -tom
