Does a regular automotive engine stand work OK to pull an engine? I'm down to just the block sticking off the bellhousing on my Super C & want to pull it. Anything wrong with this approach - stress on the castings, etc?

Thanks all.

yeah, 2 bolts on top 2 on each side + the dowel pin. Yeah it's gotta come forward to come out but with all the jerking around you've been doing I would sure expect to see a crack showing up somewhere you can get a bar in. I like to use spoon tire irons for prying. Even if the clutch shaft is stuck it ought to start a little. But I have seen tractors that clutch splines are rusted til the only way to get it apart is to break something. Be careful.

You guys have a lot of patience with newbies like me. I appreciate ALL your input. I'll remove the block safely & then bolt it from the rear to my engine stand I just bought at Harbor Freight today (I know, I know). Wasn't sure about how they even bolt up.

By the way - couldn't tap the sleeves out. Will make a puller like you showed me.

Thanks again guys

As the others say, block the rear, remove the engine with an engine hoist, and bolt it to the stand. I did this with a 460 Hi Utility, and that 6 cylinder weighs a lot more than your SC engine. There are many uses for an engine hoist -- well worth the $2-300, never regretted buying mine, and now can't do without it.

Super C engines fit well on engine stands. Lift it with a cherry picker, or 4 stout men, (not recommended), and put it on the stand. JimN

I'm not sure what you mean. I've used an engine lift (a picker) to take tractor engines off A's & B's with no problems at all. Then I bolt the block to an engine stand.

Do you mean that you want to remove it with the stand? If that is what you mean, I don't think it would work.

I've got rigging equipment I can use to remove it, then bolt it to the stand if necessary. I was thinking I could bolt it to the stand, remove the bellhousing bolts & back it right away? Alignment may be too critical, though.

Also, the adjustable "spider" on the stand doesn't exactly match up like it would on the back of a V-8. Crankshaft somewhat in the way, plus the pins on the spider are too big for the holes in the engine casting. Any ideas?

Thanks

I would not do it that way. I don't know if the bolt holes on the front of the engine would take the weight of the whole block. Besides, it sounds unwieldy. You will also need to be able to move it around somewhat to put it back on.

I reccomend that you remove it with the rigging and then bolt it on the engine stand to work on it.

Dave why wouldn't bolts on front of SC engine support its own weight , it supports the weight of the complete front of tractor whether it be NFE Tri-cycle or WFE. As it even supports the weight of radiator,all sheet metel hydraulics, torque tube and some of the weight of the trans.

But I do agree engine stand should attached to the bellhousing side of motor, or how is one to remove or put back the timing cover, crank pulley and cam w/gears....hhmmmmm mmmmm. third party image

The mounts for the steering bolster and front end could hold the weight. But it would be so unballanced how would you turn it over on the engine stand to work on it. I got the impression that he wants to bolt it to the same place the front cover bolts to, and I do not think they should have to hold the weight of the block. I think that would be a mistake.

We used a loader to remove an engine from a Farmall 300. (not recomended) Set the motor back in with an engine hoist. The hoist made the job very simple.(recommended) Just my experiance.

You remove the engine and then bolt the stand to the flywheel end just like a V-8.
