I am also willing to ship by motor freight. I will allow the buyer to arrange his own shipping including pickup by the carrier. The pickup time must be convenient to my work schedule. I will not be responsible for banding it to a pallet or to supply the pallet.
I suspect that you don't have a forklift or tractor loader so that means the truck will need a lift gate. The buyer will have to pay that charge so he needs to know that.
As for banding, it is not that difficult. Go to Home Depot and get some of those 3' long plastic tie-wraps. Put a couple through each wheel and around a pallet board. Or remove the wheels and do the same. Depending on the pallet size, you may have to remove the PTO shaft and drawbar or coupler. None of this is a big deal and you really need to meet the buyer halfway on this shipping. You can find pallets everywhere.
I also suspect the Southside of Chicago has an untold number of freight terminals. It used to be the shipping center of the country and serviced by all national carriers. It probably wouldn't be an inconvenience to deliver the banded Electrall to one of them if you have a pickup.
I just want to say that most people think that shipping heavy objects is difficult. That goes for buyers and sellers. Remove the buyer's anxiety by learning how to do it. You can ask here or call a freight terminal. Everything starts when you know the destination. Ask for at least a 60% discount and whether they have pallet rates. That rate is applied to a standard pallet weighing less than 2000 lbs.
It's nice to see that your listing got off to a spirited start.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
