Nobody told me these were light. Just kidding, I heard they were easier to move than a bed, and I'd say so. Course I make mountains of molehills for things I care but know nothing about, so I recruited five other guys see, three could bench 75% to 100+% the weight of the cab. Anyway, my brothers supervised, cuz they're old like me. The three bulls took a corner each, and at 155 lbs. wet I took the other. We lifted the cab and immediately all could do was laugh (reference mountains of molehills).
Not just a laugh, but I feel like I'm making real progress now, and can smell a pinch of ground up. Today was a good day.
Incidentally, the cart I built works awesome. It's about 1/16" off level. Overbuilt, but I probably wouldn't change a thing. That said, I pre-drilled the rear with larger holes than necessary, so it's easier to mount. We weren't paying attention (especially me) and it was off 1/4" from square at the rear after already too much fuss (that would be my brothers). 1/4" at the rear explains 1/2"ish off center in front, I drilled and oooooooops. That's okay, I dumbed the cart down and works regardless. It's bolted down at all four corners and supported in four places in front, and the rear frame is supported. I'll build a platform (WITH LOCKING CASTERS) and bolt it onto the rear of the cart, lay the cab down and pretty her up. Post 9 has the cart plans, if interested:

I always thought images of frames were misleading, because the frames look so long. Wholly cow, with the body off these remind me of a cable car, and this is the short version.
