tie a rope to the lowest point on the crane and tow it with the ranger
As stated, can't get the Ranger anywhere up hill to tow it.

Me and my dad used a wheel barrow to move the metros running gear, so if you can get hold of a wheel barrow, might be worth using that to place the engine in with the engine hoist, just to share the remaining weight.
Wheelbarrow is no chance, probably 750kg sitting there, it'd just destroy it.
I might have a go at removing the box and a load of the ancillaries and see if it gets to a movable weight then.
