My Brother has the trolley, he just didn't drop it off with that other hoist (that I would not trust to hold the powerpack).

I like the one on the link you sent me.

I get home from work tonight and the barn is open and Gimpy is in there pulling bolts and hoses off so I guess we are starting to pull the engine out tonight..........

I guess the 932 needs to deliver the canned engine. Tomorrow (Sat) is not good, working @ Goodrich Aero and b-day party for neice & nephew. Sunday should be good.

Man, I wish I had a friend without a job! He could have my front axle out by now!
Gimp, do you want to come down here pull a front end? I have room in the shop! DirecTv, sink, stove, air conditioning and running water. I'll feed you too!:beer:

The motor is ready to come out. It could have been out last night, but SWB got his 30 day tags for the 813 and wanted to get it ready to drive to breakfast. Looks like we are waiting on the replacement motor to show up(no not really), so we can install the flux capacitor kit and maybe photon torpedoes too.

It's finally out. gimp and I got it out last night. I must say that gantry and hoist worked flawlessly. Getting the engine bolts out were a little problematic. We had to use a hydraulic jack to push up on the bolt. It picked the truck about an inch until THUNK, the bolt let go and the truck dropped. Guess who was under the transmission? This guy. What's it feel like watching a truck fall towards you? Not good. :)

I suggest if you are going to do this spray some PB or Liquid Wrench on all four bolts the day before. Once they break free they pop right out.

The coolant out of the radiator looked good enough to re-use, the rear petcock was dark it looked about 50/50 oil and coolant. :-(

Now prep work and get ready to put the "new" engine in it.

Is that why you sold all your Deuce stuff? :razz:
No, derrrr! He got tired of the reliability of deuces.
