Crap I have 2 old 240's in my backyard and I live in Chapel Hill. Course my neighborhood doesn't have a HOA. Appears I arrived to the party late. Still got that 5 speed 240?

what exactly are you needing help with... getting them back to your house??

My week is extremely packed this coming week, I may be able to get a few hours away at some point to lend a hand... the following week would be a bit easier for me to get away for a tad bit.

84 K1500 GMC Suburban 6.2 diesel motor...... dying to offer its engine to the Land Cruiser

I"m scrapping my safari, and the suburban, likely the 78-300D, and the 85 euro TD... the 87 will be for sale, or move it to my other storage yard, and the Stealth will go to my transmission repair shop I use, and they'll put it up for sale for me.

the 78 or the 85 could be worked out as parts/donation to assistants or possibly the 87 may go to a helper... or sale... I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO SELL THE 87 IF I DON"T HAVE TO!!!
but I need HELP this week! either friday or Monday the buldozers come and what's still there gets crushed.
it's only 6 vehicles. I think I can do it. I pressed my Hauler into service, but the winch controller is dead from sitting outside all year. I hotwired it into service for today, but the cable was not capable of cranking the load. I gotta get a new controller, or get my other winch to lift the cars...

HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP! HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!HELP!

assistance needed. I have two helpers kinda available... (THANKS mbselect!) but I'll need dissassemblers/lookouts, muscle etc.
anybody want a 78 300D with mild rust, no doors, blown head gasket... (trans and suspension should be useable...) I'll be crushing it if nobody wants it.

what day are you needing help.... i've got a huge licensing exam on thursday AM i've got to study like hell for and then family flying in Friday PM so I have things to do aroudn the house . So thursday after the exam would be best for me, but I could spare a few hours to help you push pull things onto a trailer during the day on another day if need be.

I'm obviously too far away to come help, but I'll be praying for you. I'll watch the thread to see how things go.

if you have time.

I crushed my nearly pristine but spun rod bearing 90 GMC safari AWD today... pulled pics of the kids out of the storage bin... wahhh...
I've loaded the 78 300D on the trailer and pulled the collapsed fuel tank out for the crusher. it still had the axles in, but they were rebooted in the past I think. the clamps on the boots were all screw type, not crimp... should I pull them? I'm thinking not, and gonna crush it in the morning.
only my tractor and the suburban is left in the yard.

Probably something that shoots a bunch of ball bearings at it will suffice . . . LOL. Maybe a shotgun???
