make a lift to pick it up, look in my gallery for pics, I can swap them by myself with no problem with it, and did'nt cost much, just used 4x4's with some 2x4 bracing.

4 guys and a case of beer should be able to lift it up on there with ease.

The 4 guys and a case of beer is the cheapest and a very effective method. If you have access to a backhoe , this works well also.

Ditto on the 4 guys and grunt. Or build a pipe tri pod, built one about 12 yrs ago...worked well to pull cabs, beds, engines....well till I got the backhoe
