mowerman Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 That’s excellent thanks for sharing. I would’ve expected a DM 800 for that … but that will certainly work… Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) That’s an older one, rockwell front axle and real early air cleaner set up. Terry sure a nice one for that early! Edited March 19, 2023 by terry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 It's still a mistery for me how a building could be jacked up without deformations and cracks in the walls etc. Even that steel sub-frame has certain grade of flexibility. Or is that way suitable for some designs of homes only? I mean you can move a wooden frame building but that's impossible for bricks, right? Anyway I'm under impression every time I see a pic with such a scenary. Have never seen that for real. Only one house somewhere in Virginia which was prepped for move (jacked up) but still in its place. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they get some cracks in the walls, but if the crew knows what they are doing it can be done well. They can even move brick buildings, I watched them move a stone arch from a railroad station in Columbus Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70mackMB Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) There is some on Youtube(?) where they are moving multi story concrete/brick office buildings. Another one is the moving of a light house or two. .....Hippy Edited March 21, 2023 by 70mackMB toss in youtube link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 I got my LJ (gas) parts truck from some house movers, I’ve watched them, it takes days to block, crib and brace all that stuff, lots of hard work for sure. There Grandpa bought the LJ new in 48 , one picture I have didn’t go well, the axle on a old army truck broke, started going backwards down a hill and jackknifed, the house fell off, not sure what the LJ was doing, maybe trying to tow it . The other picture is more classic! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
