hello to all,

I was wondering if an opel blitz with 3 ton crane can lift a panther transmission? I couldn't find any information on the weight of the gearbox and final drive, any ideas?How heavy was it ?(just the gearbox)

how about it lifting a HP 230 powerhouse ? I am kinda not positive about it lifting the engine but worth asking
I know germans used sdkfz 9/1 for those kind of lifting but i was wondering about the transmission for a while...

Thanks,
Orkun
