Do you have any buddies that work on heavy equipment? If you do, they probably drive one of those trucks that have a jib crane mounted on the back. They might be able to back up to the porch and reach and get it down into the back of your truck. A neighbor with a decent sized tractor that has a loader bucket could do the same thing. If those deck boards are regular ol 5/4 boards instead of full 2x6's, I believe I'd lay a sheet of plywood down to roll it out on. As it gets heavier, the wheels on the engine stand are gonna be exerting a lot of pressure in 4 spots. If your luck's like mine, a wheel will be sitting on a knot on the bottom side of the board that you can't see, and KABOOMYOW! :eek:
