Can I carry a ZF6 25'?
I figure a crazy title might get some
lookers.
There is a junkyard that is advertising any part you can pull and carry 25' for $55.00 plus any applicable core charges.
One day only! I just wonder if a slightly decrepit 60+ guy can carry one 25' or is this a "watch this" event in the making?
AI says it weighs 210 pound plus more if it has the T case mounted.
I used to pick up small and big block engine blocks by myself but the older I get:
"You just can't count on used to be like you used to could."

Once had a yard , with all you can carry for 25.00 each.
3 of us took buckets , ratchet straps and bunnies cords in , and when we came to the gate , they had to pick their jaws off the ground .
that was the end of that .
one guy was on crutches with a leg injury , packing buckets , and the other 2 of us used a Cougar hood up side down , with everything from carbs and intakes , to transmissions .
those were the days .

The ad says "no bags" so we will be watched.
I have carried (5 years ago) my son's cast iron case T-19 4 speed close to that distance and put on the tailgate. I might can pull this off?

Find some related jokes to help make 'em laugh when you show up. Keep them laughing and ask about a senior discount or something. Use the wheelbarrow and don't risk your back. Pay a little extra and possibly save a whole bunch.
ZF6 is cool but ZF5 is fine for me.
I keep cattle and have to compensate for my age continually. It's an ongoing process.

That trans is more than 210lbs, last I heard about 225. My S5-47 is about 170-180lbs dry.
Ask if they would let two folks carry it out for their fee. You will also be tired from pulling it, could roll an ankle or a knee buckles

The real "back breaker" (quite literally) isn't the carry; it's the 215lb deadlift you'll have to do before you even start walking. Lifting 215lbs off the ground is easier said than done for most people. I'd advise against trying it.
