To get the dolly from under the fuselage, we had to stack some boards
behind the main wheel and round up enough muscle to push the glider's
main wheel up onto them.

Our tail fuselage dolly has a cut-out on the bottom which is a little
wider than the nose wheel and allows the latter to pass.
As long as the bottom of the fuselage is polished it is easy to push
the whole glider onto the dolly.

Thanks, Andreas, but the tail dolly plays no part in our problem - the
glider was on its tail wheel. *I have to restore the fuselage dolly to
its original configuration but there seems to be missing parts which
is why I need photos.

I was talking about the fuselage dolly.
Could you post a photo of your somewhere? I'd be interested what it
looks like - it might be possible that we have a similar design for
our SF-34.

Thanks everybody. I think I have it figured out. The missing parts
are up and down stops which were apparently removed to make room for
the scissor jack the nameless bozo welded in. I think I've located a
"screw jack" with exactly the right dimensions - unfortunately only
available on-line. (Google "screw jack" + "Home Depot")

BTW, you guys with troublesome hydraulic bottle jacks in your trailer
ramps might take a look at screw jacks. They are very similar in size
and shape and there's nothing in them to leak.
