What is the best way to support front half of a Super C wide front end without damaging the oil pan while installing a new clutch plate? Thanks in advance! I"d like to do it from the floor with some kind of stands if possible.

Thank you all for your information, I will probably use the overhead method with an engine lift, as I do not have a pallet jack at this time. Thanks again it is appreciated.

Streaker, Hugh always gives wise advice. I have split my Super C but don't know about supporting the front end from the bottom. I have used an engine lift my buddy got from Harbor Freight for about $75. Attached chains to the two studs on top of the head that the valve cover bolts down to. To support the rear end, I found a 55 gallon barrel dolly, the kind that you tilt the barrel on and it has fixed wheels on the side to support the barrel on it's side. With some wood blocks it was perfect to support the bell housing, which is relatively light-weight when pivoting on the rear wheels and transmission. It rolled back perfectly. Also made for an easy re-assembly.

Peabody: Nothing wrong with overhead lifting devices, they do excellent work. I guess what got me started on the pallet jack system is, oneday an aquaintance drove in. I was moving something heavy. He said, "I got just the thing for you in pickup." He was retirng from the trucking businees and had this left over pallet jack. He got it out and moved my item. Before he left I gave him a few dollars and kept the jack. From there on I found many uses for the jack. I now have accumlated 6 pallet jacks, in various states of repair. Industry, particularly the food industry just don't bother repairing them, cheaper for them to buy new. Then they probably jack them hundreds of times per day. In the food industry, once their is a hint of oil leak, out the door they go. For the guy that has half dozen lifts per week, these will last for years. Of the 6 jacks I have that first one was the only one I actually paid money for. It was the only one working 100%. Of the rest I could probably make 3 decent working jacks. There are guys in this business, one can usually buy from them about 25% of new for a good working jack. Just don't expect to do hundreds of lifts per day.

Hugh, I agree with you whole-heartedly on the pallet jacks. I am in the construction industry by trade, and we always keep a couple of used PJ's acquired from a local grocery chain warehouse in our shop for moving all kinds of stuff, particularly industrial kitchen equipment in a demolition job. Nothing beats them. Yeah, the warehouse folks just arbitrarily get rid of the old ones and replace them with new, whether anything is wrong with the old or not. That being said, the lift process, beyond being either from the top or from the bottom, is accomodated by a simple hydraulic jack, be it on a shop floor engine lift or a pallet jack. Good little items to have, either one.

streaker: I use a 4" channel iron frame, shaped in a U under pan, with wood pads going against pan bolts and block. The pan will actually carry the weight of engine, but I don't like doing that.

I then put in wedges so engine can not tip in relation to front axle. With a narrow front I remove front wheels. I put a good hardwood pallet on floor then block up securly to front end. I then put tiedown ratchet straps over engine securing it solidly to the blocking and pallet. I then put a bottle jack under clutch housing and a pallet jack in pallet and jack the two in unison. It will roll right apart, and this gives you absolute control of that front end. Remember to lock brakes and chock rear wheels.

I have used this system on tactors as large as 560D for changing clutches. Makes it a one man job. I also split an articulated Deere at the articulation point using this system. Only difference doing this I blocked the front end and put pallet and jack under rear end. I have removed 20.8x38 complete rear wheels strapped in standing position to the pallet. I wouldn't be without my pallet jack. You can have more than one job on the go, just needs more hardwood pallets.
