Engine on the ground

I did manage to get the engine out of the skidloader. The engine weighs 530 pounds. NOW WHAT?

For those of you who are not familiar with 'Skid Steer Loaders" they are sort of miniature bulldozers. Most have a (as this one does) scoop/lift bucket on the front.

They are steered by changing the direction of rotation of the right and left tires (forward-reverse) thus 'skidding' the machine in the direction you want to go. They are extremely maneuverable, almost able to spin around on their base.

The scoop can lift around 1000 to 1500 pounds, so they are very useful.
