We got 1 1/2 " of rain yesterday, but mid 60s spring day forecast for tomorrow.
I sent the empty out on UPS, Lanny has suggested shipping it back it back via Fedex. The weight is going to come in around 83 lbs. If that should be over their limit, I have no doubt we will come up with a suitable alternative.

I sent a motor to Texas last year with Fastenal……don’t know if that’s an option but it went well for me…….if I can offer a suggestion, a couple of 3”x3”or 4”x4”blocks under two bottom edges so a forklift can under it, might not be a bad idea. That way a lift operator would resist the temptation to try and put a lift truck tine thru the handles, if its heavier than they’re expected to lift by hand……….Mark

Don't know where the third member is coming from but Fastenal doesn't ship east to west or west to east. I believe the dividing line is the Mississippi River or there abouts. But it's been a while since I checked with Fastenal about shipping so things may have changed.

The motor I shipped went from Maine to Texas…… can’t go much further west than that from here….. Mark

Direct from the Fastenal web site:

The key is consistency. Because 95% of our routes are static (trucks running fixed routes through the night to service our branches and customers), we’re able to provide consistent service and control transportation costs.

Fastenal does not currently offer shipping between East and West Zones as shown on below map.

Fastenal does not offer transportation services between the US and Canada.

I looked at fedex site.... 150 lbs. With 20' of perforated steel strapping in the box, some could be used to loop over it in the box and screw down to floor, which is 1" plywood. Yes, cardboard where it fits too and I think he's gonna bolt the yoke through the box side.

Well, there ‘ya go……I thought if you went past Texas, you dropped off the edge…….that never came up when I was dealing with them so I just figured they went right to the coast.Thanks! I’ll remember that for future reference ….I guess this is why I don’t sell many big things……..Mark
