Darn engine hoist issues

[TyCorr]

My new harbor freight cherry picker wont pull my 7.3!

Its a one ton puller, just like my old one, which picked up a junkyard 7.3. It seems physically smaller. The 3ton ram does a lot of.hissing and moaning when I crank on it.

It has pulled a 12v with an allison attached to it since I got it but it wont pick my 7tree.

Anybody ellse have this problem?
Oreilly by my work shop has a 2ton ac delco jobber for.three hundred im gonna pick up tomorrow. Gotta get this thing out!

What are you guys using? If I had.time on my side Id build a rolling frame with a chainfall/block on it. I need this.motor out though.

sounds like all you need is a new ram for your new hoist :doh:

 

[youngstroker]

would it be posible to just get a bigger ram for it or is the jack it self to weak?

you would just have to becareful of the structural integrity of the hoist.

Yea, its twisting the boom. Im not sure I wanna put an 8k lb ram on it. Its.eerily similar.to.what a floor.jack.does when its.maxed out. I realize the manual hydros only net a half inch per pump when you're picking with them. This.will level the motor out.and then it starts wheezing...

Wouldnt a heavier, beefier, 2ton be better? Especially since its twisting the boom?
