I hope he drove it further onto the transporter than in the pic ? If he didn't, that would have been a horrible drive with the weight so far past the back axle.

Ha! He moved it across the road to his yard where he transferred it to an articulated transporter. It took him a week to get it back off as it locked in gear again. This also meant that his low loader was out of commision for a week. But i did warn him when he was loading it up that he would have trouble getting it back off. He didnt seem interested as i explained the problem to him. He realised soon after though exactly what i meant!

Very pleased with it, yes. Unit20 did an excellent job. Have only driven it a few times since I got it back but so far so good.

As for the green wire, I have no idea what it is. I am away from home for a few days but when I get back I'll be sure and check! To me it looks like a bit of piping rather than a wire but when I find out i'll let you know
