This is a picture taken after we had cleared most of
the items out of the side yard. What is not shown is the other engine
that I have to dispose of. I was able to take 3 sets of wheels and
the 4 cylinder engine to a service station that was kind enough to offer
to scrap the metal for me.
This is the engine that Chris and I worked so hard to
recover. It is in worse shape than I had thought. We will take
it apart and see what we will need to do.
This is what the yard looked like after we finished cleaning out the yard. We put the trailer up on jack stands to get the tires off of the ground and also pushed the golfcart in front of the trailer. The yard was washed out after this picture to get the dirt cleaned up.
Here is the golf cart that will be sold or donated to charity as soon as I can find somebody who wants it. The cart itself has less than 1 hour of use on it. It was parked in a garage in a model home and hotwired by some kids. It ran long enough for them to crash it into a wall and dent the front of the car before it caught fire and melted the seat and body.
This is the ramp we used to get the engine into the back of the truck. Next time we will use an engine hoist. Sliding it up the ramp into the truck was more difficult than any of us could have imagined.
When we got home, we had to wait for my neighbor across the street to ask if we could borrow his engine hoist. We were fortunate to also be offered his engine stand too, I had another one that I had borrowed from a friend but wanted to get the engine off of the hoist. Chris and I went and got the right bolts for the engine stand so we could then mount the engine. As we released the engine from the hoist, we noticed the engine was tilting the stand, but it was holding it in place. Here you can see the engine as it sits now. If I have time this week, we will start removing the engine and see what we have.
