[SEL] Engin cart OT sorta kinda maybe?

[Ed Herreid]

Howdy Leroy,

They say warped minds think alike but in this case I dont know if it is good 
or bad.  Dad had the same idea last year prior to show season.  He has 
several different engines on wooden skids and all were a pain to load and 
take to shows for the same reason.  He devised a cart to do what I think you 
are describing.  It is a wood cart with a flat solid top with a slot in the 
middle.  Any of the engines can be placed on top.  Then he uses a short wood 
cross brace and a couple carriage bolts with wing nuts to hold it in place.  
Any engine with a skid can fit and be clamped down.  There is a picture of 
it with a couple handsome dudes in the background on Lukes Portland page 
here.  http://www.oldengine.org/members/luket/port04/port04-25.jpg
There are a couple more partial photos down further on the page too.  It is 
not perfect but it works. You still gotta lift it off the ground to put it 
on the cart but after that it moves around real good.   If you need more 
pictures let me know.

Gday
    Well you fill in the missing word (s)    "That sure is a __________  
idea"
What I need is info or ideas on an engin cart that you can load on a 
trailer, and set different engins on for different shows. No I do not worry 
about weather the cart is correct for the engin, but just for the ease of 
loading and  a real need to unload. This cart will need to hold the engin 
while at the show and must keep it from falling onto the ground and help me 
in my lazy mood of transport. Is this realistic?  thanks
