Once the snow melted a bit, I moved the top half out of the way so I could pull the bottom half.  I extended my shop crane with a 15' or so length of 2" steel pipe, hoisted at midpoint by the crane, supported and restrained at the bottom end by the base of the crane.  The shop crane is tied down to the truck bed and the wheels lifted off the bed by wood blocking.





I took the opportunity to flip the top half over to have a look at the shifting hardware.





And yet another view of the spindle gearing.  Depending on the brightness & resolution of your monitor, you may be able to see the 4th bolt's hole, located between the spindle and countershaft, just below the 3rd spindle gear from the left.
