Hi all

When we moved the Dredge Captain Meriwether Lewis from Gasconade, Missouri to Brown ville, Nebraska. We removed the bucket boards and the wheel arms that were in the water or I guess actually we remove enough so that when we rolled the wheel there was nothing in the water to catch drift or cause drag. We cut the "U' bolts with a torch and maybe at the flanges as well but we might have been able to back this nuts off. My bet is there was nothing on the DQ's shaft but the flanges. It took us longer to reassemble that to dissemble.
