See, Tree Crane..... I had a vision it was this one

We got lucky to be honest I took my engine crane to lift it onto a small garden trolley as these only weigh about 400kg but the ram decided it wasnt going to lift anything so the tree was the second option

The rescue and strip down track frame idlers and carriers now at shot blasters to be honest track frame is better than I first thought expect tracks are perished very badly none of the idlers or rollers move so have strip then and rebuilt them

Now that is worthy of a thumbs up like the style...right my my street. Similar to the 2500L oil tank extraction we did with a tirfor and a doorframe.

Will try my best hopefully the parts come back from the shot blasters soon so I can spray them and start rebuilding

UPDATE

picked the parts up yesterday from the shot blaster not to bad actually I think I'm going to have to plate the outside of the track frame to support it due to the holes and just a precaution aswell shot and hot zinc coat for £90+vat think that's a good price aswell ?

if you mean rust pit holes ... mig them up and grind them back to a surface ... good as new

Good evening all sorry for the lack of progress but unfortunately life gets in the way

might be cheaper to have new rods though, if they're as pitted as i suspect they will be from being buried for several years.
