How heavy is this 379 w/o engine?

The steer weight on mine is right at 10 empty. Doesn’t really change much. So with motor trans hood axle etc missing I’d say around 4.

a good rental skytrack will go a lot farther than a yard type lift. Much more versatile too. Chain the axles to the frame pick the whole ######## up and back under it. A hood boom truck be an ideal tool as well. Course if it was me I’d run a good timber across the back of my truck. Lift the down truck back under it and chain them together. Cage brakes and let it rip. May still have pull stacks etc. A wrecker will work in that instance. Usually about 500 to sit it on.

No motor trans etc a 5th wheel toter would work well, Jack it up block it then hook it those can usually be rented on the 500 scale. Sometimes it’s better off to spend a little money up front rather than spend a wad toting #### around you borrowed or stole lol.

I’ve drug a bunch home in that shape very similar. I’ve even used a detach as well. Just dragging what’s left of what’s there seems easier in my opinion

 

Tractor only. My engine is roughly 3000 pounds, then deduct steer axle, hood, trans, radiator…..

 

I'm not talking about a "forklift", I am talking about an Off Road Forklift, what we have in the company is like this one. Ours has a capacity of 20k.

 

I built a removable king pin just for that kind of stuff. Piece of 10” wide c-channel with hole cut in middle. Weld king pin thru hole. C-channel is made to be strapped on the bottom side of frame with u-bolts. Lift it up just enough to back fifthwheel under it. Lock it in and go. Pull it like a trailer.

 

This is the one I have behind the shop now. White-WesternStar frames. Alum one is a ‘80 year model and 24’-2” long. With the stands I built I can back under it anytime to move it. I’ve pulled them from place to place with frames stacked four or five high.
