Default random question

could not find a proper forum since my question is quite random but basically i have an 90 accord in the back yard and a new f22a engine in the front yard. there is no driveway that extends to the back and also i plan to use the small shed to position the engine lift in to pull the old motor and drop in the new one. my questions is:

are there any types of engine carts that would be able to move over the soft grass/dirt terrain. its not hilly at all. possibly something with rubber wheels of some sort. if worst comes to worse ill go rent a truck somewhere cant seem to find anyone with a small enough truck to fit through the gate. i have been googling forever with nothing even close. just lawnmowers

If you are here in the states, check out Harbor Freight.
Either get a furniture/moving dolly for a few bucks and get a sheet of Masonite or plywood(depending on how soft your lawn is) from Home Depot/Lowes/Orchard/etc, have it ripped in half down the long way so you have two 2'x8' sheets to use as a path you can follow. Place one in front of the other push engine on dolly, get to the end of the second sheet, pull up the first one and lay it down, leap frogging the sheets as you come to the end.
HF also has a garden cart that I think is rated for 1000lbs with big rubber wheels, but if your lawn is soft it will sink into the ground anyway.

The furniture dolly and plywood I would think are your cheapest/easiest bets. And you can always reuse the plywood and dolly elsewhere.

I always use a furniture dolly. The type that the movers use to haul fridges and stoves around on. Some of them have big rubber wheels on them. Those would make it easy on the grass. I just drug one of my spare engines across the grass down into the shed with one no problem. Mine has the small wheels on it!
