I have several engine jobs coming up so I decided to fab up a lift bar with a tilt mechanism so it would be easier to install the engines. I want to apologize for the blurry pics, and some I took didn't show up in my pics. Guess it's time for a new camera.
Anyway, I started with a 2x2x3/16 tube about 20" long.
The slider is 2 1/2x3/16 square tube. The lift have is 3x1/2 flat bar. I welded it at na angle so it wouldn't pull up and deform the tube causing binding.
The screw is from an old car scissor jack that I salvaged from an old car jack.
The screw is stretched with some 3/8x1 1/2 flat.
The ends are more 3x1/2 flat.
Here is what it looks like hanging on the loader.
Hope to try it out tomorrow pulling my 1030 motor.
