Bonnie at the Castle: Remove Engine from Frame

Winter 2004

This was the first or second time I removed Bonnie's engine from her frame. I roped the engine up and attached it to a chain hoist.

The biggest problem with this method is that the chain hoist is hoisting and lowering the engine off-center of the frame, making it necessary to push and pull the engine as it is raised or lowered. It works, but it's pretty awkward.
