If the prop was not turning, why do you need to tear the engine down?

The line crew was moving the airplane to another tie down after I had departed the FBO.  Apparently they attempted to pull the ship onto the nose gear platform of the tug with the propeller lower blade in a near vertical position. As they  winched the plane on to the machine the propeller contacted some structure on the machine.  They kept pulling until they realized (too late) that something was wrong.

The attached picture is the type of tug involved but not the specific model.

One does not really want to get a call from an FBO beginning with "there is a problem with your airplane."

Colyn,

I have not tried the north 40, but have had no problems around the forums area.
