Long distance Motor Move, any help

I am looking at buying a motor that is in NY and
I'm out in Ca.

I've heard of using greyhound, but they have a weight
limit of 100lbs. I don't know the actual weight but I
think it is more than 100lbs.

I know sometimes there are hamb relays but this may
be a little too far for that.

I know some one else has had to ship a motor and trans
long distance before so if you have any advice it would
help me out alot.

The freight price I was quoted was $1000, there is no way
that I could afford that. The motor is on a pallet and it
seems like it should be alot cheaper some how.

Does anyone know how much a yblock actually weighs. I seem
to remember some one had a link for the weight of differnt
motors.

Any how any help will be appreciated. I don't want to buy
the motor if I can't afford to get it home.

 

Where in New York ?

 

Yeah,Where is it?I get all over NY.I might be able to get the relay started.

 

It is outside syracuse NY.

Thanks for the replies, this thing was on
page 12 overnight.

I know some one has shipped a motor before.

I have a freind in twin cities,Mn if some one
could get it that far he could sit on it for
a little while.

 

hey JT maybe you could ask your boss to put it on his sleigh and have it there for christmas.

Thank you recycler that is a great site.

That yblock is even heavier than I thought.
