need to borrow an engine crane in the nova/dc/md area

Like the title says if you have a crane I could borrow for a day or so, or you know where I can rent one for cheap let me know. I got all the seals and the rebuilding is starting monday. Thanks for your help in advance

I got that motor mount nut off had to go to sears and get a rounded off nut removal thing. I also had to disconect the wiring harness from the three plugs behind the tranny and the tube coming off the motor. I have been moving that bitch every which way and it still wont ******* come out. I got the dp off too. I am pissed but oh well. Thanks for the offer for the picker jaded x I just went out and bought one cuz I needed it asap. Talk to you all soon

I've got one in Woodbridge.

Dunno why you want an engine crane from the D.C. area shipped to Okinawa though.

Ended up getting a very compact 1 ton foldable crane at Harbor Freight for only $100!!! The arm on this crane is a little short though, so I had to remove my front bumper, reinforcement in order for it to reach.

D&B rentals in Herndon also has them.
