Hoist attachment to block hi


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...

I use a 2 point lift attachment. The tabs are flat steel and allow the Head Bolts to be torqued down pretty tight.

I also remove the Doghouse so the lift height isn't to high. If you have a fluid-drive, and not a standard 3 or 4 speed.......

you might consider taking just the engine. But usually they are removed together. 

 

Here's a series of videos I did on removing the Doghouse 10 years ago.

What's funny is I made an engine stand a few years back out of a cut frame (sold the back half) and just lifted the engine off of it yesterday.

I plan on cleaning the stand up and painting it today.

Guess I should show a picture of the levitating connector jammer deal.

 

gimme a few minutes........

This is the stand I took the motor off of. The 230 is a teaching motor, so to speak.

I might get it running, I don't know. The stand is made from a wrecked frame that I welded some legs on.

I didn't know I'd use the dang thing so much, so I'm welding up the weak spots and then painting it.

The engine will go back in and continue to entertain those who want to learn.
