How can I line up the front of my 235 to install front motor mounts with only a jack ?

The old one came loose & the motor is about 3/4 " over to the drivers side at the front.

Thanks, Kelly

my thought: 2x4 on 2 jacks, motor on the board can be moved side to side with a bar .... a biiig bar - otherwise rent a transmission jack with wheels grin

Under where on the engine are you putting a jack to get the front up enough to replace the F-motor mount? You certainly wouldn't want to jack it up on the pan, would you? Also I'm going to be replacing the rear mounts on my 50, 3600 and need to get it up with out it falling over in the engine compartment, any ideas for that?

I don't know if this will apply on your '50 but the rear mounts on my 38 are mounted to a frame crossmember that is bolted to the side rails instead of welded. I simply unbolted the crossmember to remove/replace the mounts.
