Gonna get going on my Farmall Regular this year. Big step will be pulling the engine. Now that I have my own garage to work on it...

How much does that engine weigh? I'm gonna get an engine hoist and want to make sure I get enough hoist to deal with it safely. I figure it must weigh more than your average toyota's whole front clip.

The cowman says 800#. The flywheel alone weighs one hernia operation!

The complete engine is quite heavy. When I pulled the engine out of my F-20 and Regular, I tried to make it as light as possible. I used an old chain hoist suspended by a steel pipe in the rafters of the pole barn. I removed the head (about 100+lbs) and the flywheel(about another 75lbs). Once you get it on the ground, you can remove the bell housing (about 65lbs) to get it small enough to work with. The actual bare block is only around 150lbs, but add in the crankshaft and it goes up fast. I pulled the flywheel on my Regular while the engine was still in the frame. That made the flywheel easier to get out.

I think my hoist has a 1400 lb rating as a minimum. Slide in the lift arm and it goes up to 2250, then 4000. I think 1400 is sufficent, provided you are not trying to lift the whole front end including the front bolster off the ground. I would guess the engine weighs 6-800 lbs, I could be way off. You can remove the head first to lighten the load. If you are going to repair it yourself, out of the tractor, you also need an engine stand -- there it gets a little tricky, as there are big differences in them. More important than the entire weight you are trying to lift is the stability of the hoist/stand you are using. They will tip over.

I agree that an engine stand is avery handy thing to have, but it is not necessary. We used to do all that stuff with nothing more than a chain hoist hung from the rafters and some wood blocks to set the engine on. The chain hoist hung from the rafters is probably not a good idea, been in more than one building with broken rafters.

A lot of things, aren't necessary, just convenient. Such as being able to turn the engine over and work on the bottom side if you have a stand etc. I work alone, and try to make everything as safe as possible. I bought a generator yesterday, to protect me from the next one in 50 year ice storm we had a couple of weeks ago, that left me freezing to death in the dark. Lifted it out with the hoist. Even if I would have had a rafter hung hoist, I couldn't have gotten the pickup in the building far enough to use it--tractor with blocks under it would have been there. Lot of people change engines with the hoist hanging from a tree -- not many trees in western Kansas.

I agree. I did manage to snag a good cherry picker at an auction this summer which is allowing me to accomplish a few tasks that I had been putting off simply because tho ol' bones just don't like to be abused the way I used to do it. I picked up an engine stand at a different auction, and after getting it home I determined that it really isn't suitable or adjustable enough to work with an H or M engine, but it is very handy for setting heavy objects on and then I can move them around the shop, or just park it out of the way.

I was NOT comparing a Voltmeter and a condensor... He accidently fed 12-Volts into his mag, so it wouldn't work. Changing the points and condensor fixed it.

The point I was making is that the condensor wouldn't have been hurt by feeding 12-Volts into the mag, and oftentimes old condensors that still work are better than some of the modern cheap junk sold to replace them.

I plan to work on it from a crib of 4x4s theres no money in the budget for an engine stand nor is there really a good place to put on in my garage. When I need to shuffle the engine around the hoist will be there...

The problem with working on it on the tractor is that the tractor is at my parent's house in Maine and I'd rather not have it at my house in Massachusetts because I live in town and the neighborhood kids would be crawling all over it.

My parents don't have a garage at all so I haven't had any luck getting the engine unstuck because the tractor is sitting outside and as fast as I could penetrant into the engine condesation gets under the oil...
