My brother and I loaded an old Cadillac engine and about four or five old broken or unloved mercedes blocks onto my flatbed trailer to take to the salvage yard. We also loaded on odd steel, automatic flywheels unloved, an old caddy crank, a 52 caddy hearse driveshaft and four very nice 115 doors complete with glass. We also loaded a couple of rusty 123 hoods, some old caddy air cleaner housings and the (yep, you guessed it) a kitchen sink....one of the old cast iron ones it was all two of us could do to lift and stagger 25' to the trailer.
My brother and I each have a hip replacement and I have a partial knee replacement so we were the walking wounded with the heavier items.
We rented an engine hoist for the engines.
I thought I was going to qualify for the Chinese Heavy lifing expert name "
Won Hang Lo" after that.
One day this week it will all go to the yard for scrap.
