squonk 41,118 #1 Posted March 25, 2019 I put this basket ball hoop up about 30 yrs ago. It started to lean a bit and me being 60 with a bad back, son gone to Buffalo it was time to remove it. But how you may ask? Well I was in the shop on a nice cool day and Elvis said he'd give me a hand. Raised the bucket to "catch" the hoop and board. air gun on the clamp bolts and it's off. Hooked up the strap and in first gear and at idle pulled down the pole. Pole is full of concrete all the way to the top. Heavy bugger! No pics of Elvis picking the concrete out of the hole and lugging it to it's resting place by the side of the road. I was too busy working the controls and balancing the load but here it is like a dead water buffalo after the safari! 6 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
