[ATTACH=full]86390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]86391[/ATTACH] Lift off, with the fully assembled engine crane. This is the first time the engine has moved in 7 months.

This went way better than I ever dreamed, thanks to the crane fitting underneath the stand the the good wheels I put on everything. I easily tranfered the engine from the crane to the stand all by myself. Notice the bent lifting arm on the crane. I'll be replacing it with something heavier. This crane replaced an older non folding crane that I sold. Almost everything on the old crane was heavier than on the new crane. [ATTACH=full]86392[/ATTACH] Engine mounted on the engine stand. [ATTACH=full]86393[/ATTACH] Its very stable in the stand, though the center post does flex a bit. I love the height of the engine. Its perfect for working on. This is the floor stand that I built to hold it. I think its 12.5" between the 2x4s and the raised up section is 24 inches long. If you don't need to work on the underside of the engine, a stand like this works fine. Though its a pain working on the floor. The pock marks on the raised 2x4s are from the pan bolts.

A couple hammer whacks on an el cheapo imported 36 mm wrench got it off easily. [ATTACH=full]86396[/ATTACH] The teardown continues. [/QUOTE]
