The upper part was flared out to give a more secure footer for the swinging action. I was able to put a chain around it below where it mushroomed out. I used my antique Hi-Lift jack to hoist it up up from it's perch. Then horizontal to drag it out. The hooked up a long long chain to my Suburban to carefully drag it to the driveway. It all worked out using what I had to work with

That must have been a monster swing set. That is a lot of concrete....
