Did you ask how much if they took it out?

Or offer the yard man a few dollars to help you out with the torch...
Don’t think Pull-A-Parts will remove parts for you, it’s all self service
Only workers I’ve seen was the cashiers

any hand saw you would recommend?

I might try to use a hand saw tommorow
$30 is way better than $100+ And it looks better than the eBay ones

Depends on how much your time is worth and how soon you need it. I wouldn’t spend all day trying to saw a truck in half by hand.

I actually have something in my garage that might work for you. I’ll post a picture when I get home.

My credo
I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
If you can find an employee to help you out, it will save a ton of time and effort. I once gave the loader operator $20 to flip a Ranger on its roof so I could pull the trans easier.

I think I have the class 3 version of that hitch I'm pretty sure, it sits about 2" below the middle of the bumper but it works fine otherwise, I drag the inserts at times going through ditches and such but it works fine.

I’m in Kintnersville Pennsylvania. If you want to drive all The way from Oklahoma to eastern Pennsylvania I will send you my address.
Lol
Just saw where it shows your location, I appreciate it but it would cost more to ship than get one on Amazon etc…

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
Never cut the base plate

Just shim it with hardened machine washers or plate And bolt it on...1/2 in grade 8.

The bumper is good for 5k if intact

That sure doesn't sit like the one I had... I also saw it on a ranger before I bought mine. Even the review photos don't have it sitting that low.

I wonder if they changed the design or something.

Ive got a 3-4” body lift, but the bumper is still mounted to the frame so I wouldn’t think it would be any higher

any chance anyone can measure there’s so I can see if mine is larger
