It worked out great. When the body was up in the air, we had plenty of room to just roll the motor/trans out. Never had to unhook it. Bobcats are the ****.

Looks good man. Im getting ready to put mine back in this weekend. I was thinking of using my skidloader, might be easier than the cherry picker. At least I know it works now.
