hoisting 400 cc engine out of 4x4 ram on 32" tires in 30 inches of snow
From : nosey
Q: rachel easson wrote hi all you artful dodgers with creative ideas! do you have any suggestions you think might help -- willing to rent the available equipment of course -- sold the 400 cc but guy prefers it be pulled out and delivered and is willing to pay for it i had been thinking of an engine hoist but it would have to stand on 3/4 plywood on top of some cement blocks -- all possible and supplies on hand except the hoist. any other ideas also likely to snowblow 100 feet up to the truck and drive in with 4x4 so whatever you can suggest is appreciated. thanks in advance rachel couldnt you just ask someone to help lift it they are a bit akward but they arent too heavy. i lifted a few 400/440 cc kawasaki engines by myself without any struggle. it wasnt in any snow but that shouldnt make it any heavier. -- ken .

first you mean a 400 cid not a motorcycle but a big block right second ditch the tires and drop the front axle on some 6x6 lumber and the truck suddenly becomes normal height. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author hi all you artful dodgers with creative ideas! do you have any suggestions you think might help -- willing to rent the available equipment of course -- sold the 400 cc but guy prefers it be pulled out and delivered and is willing to pay for it i had been thinking of an engine hoist but it would have to stand on 3/4 plywood on top of some cement blocks -- all possible and supplies on hand except the hoist. any other ideas also likely to snowblow 100 feet up to the truck and drive in with 4x4 so whatever you can suggest is appreciated. thanks in advance rachel .

you could take it to budds old garage and hoist it from the rafters. you have to have been around here for a while to understand this one. beekeep on tue 14 mar 2006 190534 -0500 rachel easson rske@sympatico.ca wrote hi all you artful dodgers with creative ideas! do you have any suggestions you think might help -- willing to rent the available equipment of course -- sold the 400 cc but guy prefers it be pulled out and delivered and is willing to pay for it i had been thinking of an engine hoist but it would have to stand on 3/4 plywood on top of some cement blocks -- all possible and supplies on hand except the hoist. any other ideas also likely to snowblow 100 feet up to the truck and drive in with 4x4 so whatever you can suggest is appreciated. thanks in advance rachel .
