A bare Sprite tub rolls very easily on one centered piano dolly from Harbor
freight. If you have some uneven surfaces to roll on, use 2. $20 a piece
maybe> They can also be used to roll motors around on the floor if you've
neglected your Wheaties.
One guy can load a bare tub on a trailer... it's a little bit of a nut pull.
2 works better.
Someone else mentioned that the tub will lift nicely with a piece of pipe
run thru the tunnel, with a strap or chain coming thru the trannie hole to
an engine hoist... haven't field tested that idea, but am about to this
week.

Why lose your friends with their new hernias? Roll it on to the trailer.
1. Go to you local Home Disaster and get two cheap 4x4's and two 2x4's.
2. Either find two abandoned shopping carts and remove the four
SWIVEL wheels, or go to Harbor Freight and buy four of them.
3. Attach the wheels to the 4x4's.
4. Jack up the Sprite and put on jack stands.
5. Use the two 2x4's to make a frame with your 4x4's so that it will
slide under the Sprite.
6. Lower the Sprite onto the frame.
7. Winch the Sprite onto the trailer with a come-along.
