Is there a patent on these or is this an original?

| 69 that is a redneck hoist, did someone do the math right? Looks like it might be a little to short to get it out. eric I figured you say that, do you want to just send one back with my tranny? p.s. I'm still stoked I got a picture to work. |

Nice hoist job. I especially like the can of cheap beer in the photo! PBR is my beer of choice of working on boat projects 
Next time, it may be easier to use 2 bottle jacks underneath the exhaust manifolds.

i miss schlitz and p.o.c, last resort which is what id do on v-12 cats and it works on these boats as well is to remove the back mount adjusting nuts on the top of the trans bracket, loosen the front pinch bolts and use the back remaining adjusting nuts, the ones underneath the mounts to raise the trans by turning them cc and then block the trans and bring the nuts back down....learned this method accidentally because i forgot my come alongs. works very well ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

Gary- Like the engine crane system you have there. I was thinking the other day that a couple sections of pipe staging with heafty boards spanning two sections would make a pretty good boat or engine hoist system.

Farmer, it really is safe i think the way i do it, everyone says it isnt but i go under the boats all the time.

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.

All I can say is be careful around things that can fall.

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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

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? ------------- |
Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: May-14-2009 at 1:03pm
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

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. ------------- |

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!    ------------- 1968 Barracuda Super Sport |

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