Motor can size

[gimpyrobb]

So I know some folks that need to move multifuel motors in cans. I just had a buddy measure his motor container and it is 43.5 wide by 65 long. For me, this means I can fit it between the wheel wells of an m101. Just posting for future searches.

You don't happen to know the weight of one do you? I need to move some motors in cans and need to find the combined weight.

The weight should be on the can. Painted or on the data plate.

With a deuce motor in it, 3150 pounds.

Should be interesting to see how much "spring" is left when I put one in the 101!

Is that Gimpin' or Limpin"

 

[gimpyrobb]

I'd be more worried about what it would do to the tires.

Quick update, the 101a2 moved it fine. It wasn't happy, but it didn't break either.

I know this is The Deuce forum but for future search sake, a NHC250 in the can weighs 4200lbs.

Late night cruising....
I have a full engine crate from an LDT-465. It has the bell housing piece and the front legs.
Don't know if anyone needs it, or should I make a **** of a meat smoker out of it...?

Or bathtub.

 

[doghead]

I think one would make a nice doghouse.

We watered cattle with one.

So, it would be no big deal to use the metal for other projects.... cool.

MIght want to post it in the classifieds first. Lots of people look for them. Shame your so far from me, I'd take it.

I will keep it for a while, no problem.
