That looks very sketchy to do with a come along. Esp because the compressor cost a bunch.

Moving a compressor on a 10-15% incline is bad enough. I can't imagine a stairway!
I replaced the steam boiler in my house a few years ago... Sourced a new Weil-Mclain from a plumber friend for his cost...

Went medieval on the old boiler with a sledge.... clean up the mess and lingering asbestos ;-P

Got the new750# boiler down my old coal chute... using...a few slings, a come-a-along amd pinch bar...and knowledge that I have picked up observing the amazing Ironworkers and riggers who build NYC! They think 750# is something a few guys just pick up..

BFW hammer to a Bosch stater... check!!
