UPDATE!!! got all the chains out again and one side of all the axles out!.tmr i will do the rest of the axles and try to get the tranny and engine out and then tub cleaning still need some info on hoisting the engine out/
curtis, from looking at the photo of the motor i think you could rig up a sling to cradle the engine under the clutch and the other side of the motor. if you can fasten a come a long to a rafter on the cieling then slowly winch it up. you may need to slide the tub out of the way, then let the motor down. if no rafters are easy to get to , maybe fasten a strong board across from wall to wall. otherwise get a friend and sling it to a strong board long enough that each guy can stand on either side of the tub, lift it and walk it out. just some ideas.... keep at it.... thanks for sharing the pictures johnboy va.
On the service manual it just shows and engine on a slant with one hook hooked onto one side of the motor? So if I put something around the clutch as well will it hold or am I risking damaging parts? Also yea there is a rafter right above the engine, I hung off it and I am almost 150 pounds and it barley moved so if should be good for 130/140
Curtis I marked with an arrow what appears to be two lift eyes on top of your engine. Of course I can't tell from the photo how substantial these are, or what they bolt to, so don't take my word for it....but if they are lift eyes, tie into each one and start lifting. If it is heavy on the clutch side, take a tow strap or piece of rope or something and run around the clutch shaft to hold it level.
those are bolted onto the manifold they are pretty sturdy but i believe they were there for holding the two exhausts in place. thats where the exhausts would be if the engine were just for a generetor. never mind just found a picture of a m18 as a genertor application and those two pices of 90 degree metal do not hold the exhaust either so it must be a hoist!
once you hook to them and slowly start lifting you will see if it's a good strong point. if not, you should be able to use a couple of ratchet straps around the motor to get a good hold. just wrap them around and around like a net. lift slowly and watch the motor. it may tilt some, thats o.k. as long as there is a good grip on the motor. j.b.
UPDATE
the screw that holds the darn calliper wont come off. just seen the year of my tranny it is aug 17 1991 i think. can somebody please help me out with the rest of this teardown?
