Re: how to swap engines without hoist?
If you can catch a homier tool sale coming thru your area they have a good hoist fairly cheap.

Re: how to swap engines without hoist?
I got a used one , it was chained to a tree with a for sale sign on it 50.00,I oferd him 35, and got it for 40. I sold it after for 60.
Rent one, borrow or buy, you will save time, and maybe your life

Re: how to swap engines without hoist?
Too bad it wasnt inside, i use a 6x6x10 across rafters in shop with a chain hoist and it works better than messing with a picker.

Re: how to swap engines without hoist?
i actually have 2 huge railroad ties sticking out of the cround over my concrete pad that the last owner of this house used as a deer skinnin rack. it had a railroad tie across the top that he took with him. ya'll reckon that would be strong enough to hold?

Re: how to swap engines without hoist?
Yeah, that's plenty strong. Just bridge it with something stout enough to hold a half ton or so (just to be safe) and get a comealong. You'll be fine.
