Probably why we all have buggered backs, shoulders and knees now. I used to be able to carry a complete front section of a Eaton 18 speed road ranger transmission with all the gears installed from one bench to another. How stupid was I.

I remember many moons ago - I was up at a local wreckers (Pick a Part in Kilsyth for the Vic folk) - and they had an "all you can carry for $100" sale - or something to that effect. Can't remember if it was $100, but it was cheap. You had to walk a certain distance and carry everything you wanted in one go to get the deal. Highly entertaining watching all these dudes juggling all kinds of car parts to secure their deal of the century.
Then we watched in amazement as one guy (a big guy) - carried a complete engine - must have been a complete 4 or 6 cylinder of some sort - he did it, but we always wondered how much money he then spent at the back doctor recovering! No thanks!
Nothing worse than back problems - you only get one spine, so look after it!

Yep. Just had cortisone injected into mine, trying to put off the fusion op for as long as possible. Apparently I fractured a vertebrae somewhere along the line.

Not too heavy if it's an empty bare block & lots of points to grab....add sump or leave crank & cam in the block they get heavy real quick.
Got a couple of 308 blocks was going to throw out but they're so hard to find now thought better hang on to junk blocks for now & hid them under house out of sight....after carrying them 15 metres or so from garage then dragged underneath house.
Not keen to repeat that again or move complete diffs lol
Was way easier during apprentice days when we were much stronger & dumber!
