Finally the day came to remove the diesel engine from Ibis. This was done by Lukas Smith of Diesel Smith with assistance from yard worker Matt and Charles operating the fork lift. The diesel was later sold to Trans Atlantic Diesel (TAD) in Virginia and offset about half the cost of the removal. According to Lukas the alternator and regulator were worth at least as much as the diesel so TAD might have got a good deal. I was happy to have someone pay to take the engine off my hands.
