I am thinking of using a chain fall to lift it off and want to make sure it's not to heavy for my steel A frame shop trusses to hold. It would be nice to leave it in the air to take up less floor space.
I would guess it would be around 500-600 lbs? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | If you have an engine hoist, this is the easiest way to do it.

Good idea though, if it isn't to heavy I want to hoist it hi over head to keep it out of the way. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 241 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 241 | Oh really, I haven't tried to lift mine yet, just assumed I might blow a nut without some mechanical assistance. I guess it just looks heavy. should be no problem to hang from above. Thanks guys.  | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 544 | I wiggled mine off my parts 2ton by myself. A little wiggling and waggling and some blocking and it slid right off. Couldn't do it once its painted, but before bodywork, wasn't too bad. BTW, that had the doors off and the cab stripped of most everything inside.
Gravity was my friend on that deal. | | |
