Uh think you might have voided the warranty on the crane.

You guys will get a kick out of this. A friend helped me pull the 318 I sold out of my donor hull. We used his 24' moving truck with a heavy duty lift gate and his large engine Hoist. A few straps and on the fly engineering made for a few laughs. The hull was on blocks and high enough off the ground that the extraction process presented a few minor challenges. No large trees around and I didn't have a hoist of any kind. We used the lift gate to give us the height and the boom on his hoist for distance. He backed his truck up next to the hull and then the fun began. We ran into the foreseeable problem (evident in the photos) when we began swinging the boom around to clear the hull. Enjoy!

It's a little ugly but it was strong enough to lift a 390 Ford Interceptor and trans (Tim - this is the one you gave me the heads up on)

I just pulled a 150hp Merc at the guy's house, we used a steel pipe across 6ft on center rafters, that was fn scary. I always gauge things as if they were 180lb guys, in this case it wouldve been around 2 and a half guy's hanging from the pipe...no problem i guess

Jim,
I love it. Little stuff is all I use it for too. Grading the driveway, PTO for the hay elevator, mowing the pasture, lifting boat motors etc. Had it for 12 years. Never had a problem with her other than a couple minor self inflicted ones. Mike |

Wakeslayer, we had a D-17 when I was growing up. It was our "little" tractor we used to run augers, harrow the arena, haul hayracks,etc. All 4 boys in our family learned how to drive tractors starting with that good ol' A/C D-17. I have John Deere's now but I would pay a pretty penny to get that orange one back!

Yep, D17. Not positive on the year, 58 or 59, I believe. I have a couple Allis lawn tractors too. Early 80's models, built like tanks. Pete, I actually borrow a Bobcat when I have to clean the paddock. I don't have hydraulics on the bucket, just the lift. |

check those counter cams on those BBC's if you plan on re-using...2 out 2 on both counters were bad. also i found a burnt valve in one of them...probably from the bad cam lobe on that cylinder.. 2 righties in the same week go figure. i almost was going to plug the one back in but found a sharp point on them.....god damn, im really sarting to believe this zinc myth thats been going around

Not sure yet, Eric. The boat is getting new stringers and floor. Compression on the engine came back good (all within 10%), so as long as the bearings check out when we pull the pan, we dont have an excuse to touch the bottom end this year (damn). We may add a cam and an intake once we figure out what we have for a bumpstick and compression ratio now. The foam is all out (wet!!!) and the boat should be a bit lighter once finished- Id like to be flirting with 60mph next summer. |

We've added a second tier to our hoist... the BFN wouldnt have cleared if we used the lower rung.
I now have 3 boats without engines on my parents property... yikes. |
