I dont' know, but I'm thinking I've still got you guys beat in the redneck engineering department with this strap between two pines posted a few years back under a very similar thread. Our lift of choice is now the fork lift when available, or otherwise the classic engine hoist. But how boring.

I dont know Reid you definitely lose points with that electric chain hoist rig. My goofy ass friends have had a lot of fun with a rig like that, until someones belt loop breaks when they are 7 feet or so above the ground, after that they usually calm down.

alright somewhere out there has to be one that utilizes true redneck tools. Bungee cords and duct tape. So far I would have to say reidp's takes the cake.

The Aussie redneck lift. Tamworth is the country music capital of Aus so I guess I qualify.
It did the job was able to get the boat of the old rusty trailer. 
The trailer is toast has serious cancer. Next project is to make the new improved version of the CC Type 3 trailer.

Ill bring this thread back from the dead since I have a few pics that seem to qualify. Probably not quite as good as Reid's set up, but using the swing set that dad built 20 years ago might still be considered redneck. This was all the way down in the back yard, so putting the engine cradle on the little boat trailer to make it portable worked well.

I knew Tim was a redneck long before he built the world's fastest JetSki trailer. Nice work Tim ! You gonna finish that wood or leave it natural?

Hey,
All I can say is be careful around things that can fall. Farmer, I would say you have that thing braced north and south; however, it looks like a light east or west breeze could sent it to the ground. Stay safe and never compromise when something could fail and someone could get hurt. Clew In |

You guys pulling your engines outside in the hot sun with the possible exception of Reid, who looks to be in the shade, are rednecks
Here's how you do it in the shade-
This is one of my Dads Shamrocks.If we ever had to pull a engine in one,we were going to do it at his house in Florida.We had planned to leave it in his canal and pull it with a davit. Well best laid plans,rear seal started leaking and the oil pan looked to be about rusted thru,so we had to do it here. |

Ha, thanks Mike! As far as woodworking goes, Im much more of a rough framer than a finish work type of guy... so I think the natural finish is beautiful!
Before anyone accuses me of being a jetski owner, I should clarify that the small trailer is for our 12' aluminum boat. |

It looks fast none-the-less. I'd get some flames on it soon. Mike |

I don;t know if I dare do a V8 with this one, but it worked well with the 6.

Bruce, that 2-by is through-bolted to the tree, right? A V8 shouldnt be a problem!
Mike, youre right- flames are coming right up. Dave, the hope is to bring that yellow POS (its actually red underneath) to GL with me... if its not done in time, then the Inca Gold Skier will likely make the trip again. |

8" lag bolts, Tim. The tree on the right holds well. The tree on the left is a little punky, but they tighten up pretty well.
How do you deal with an engine that does not have lifting rings? |

Ha, not a bad set up. If you have no rings, I would put a good bolt on the end of the heads (diagonal) and lift from those. I lucked out and found a set of lift rings in my stash-o-parts that I was able to utilize. |

Holy smokes Bruce, way to represent! I see you have the mandatory rope to hang the motor.(we don't need no stinkin chain). Nothing redneck about that setup,looks like a typical Maine set up to me. You even have the landmark woodpile in that pic along with an old broken rake leaning against the tree on the right, what appears to be some canoe paddles next to the tree on the left, a 1000ft orange extension cord strung down the road and what is that I see over in the neighbors yard ?? Tell me that isn't a big blue tarp(state of Maine Flag) ! The only thing missing from that pic is the 5 year old kids with no shoes or teeth beating on the motor with those paddles like it's a Pinata....with no adult supervision of course. Nothing wrong with that tree on the left either, if there was someone would have cut the whole thing down

We tested our engine hoist with a V8 this past weeked and it held up. We added some extra support and it came out pretty slick. Maybe we'll try a big block next.
