MF35 Engine removal

I am about to pull the engine on my MF35 and wondered where to attach the hoist to the engine. The IT and Massey manual don't mention any specific studs or attachments points. They just say to " support the engine with a hoist". With the head still on as the manual shows I don't see much to attach to. This is my first engine removal and rather than risk bending or breaking something I thought I would check here. Thanks for any replies or advice.

The engines aren't all that heavy, the Perkins diesels are 445-480 lbs. The usual technique is to remove bolts off two head studs that are the furthest apart, and kitty-corner. Make 2 'L' brackets out of 1/8" steel. Drill a hole just larger than the head stud in the short side of the 'L', and a hole big enough to accept the hook on whatever chain(s) you're going to use. Fasten these brackets to the head stud with the removed bolts. Center the chain-fall or cherry picker between the studs, take up the engine weight, unbolt the bell housing and hoist away.

Note: I've heard that the head on some Perkins engines are real bears to get off (carbon blows up the studs clearance hole and 'cements' 'em to the head). 'Big Dean' has mentioned that sometimes you have to remove all the head bolts, attach a chain-fall or picker to just the head (same bracket as above, but not bent into an 'L'.. attached to the sides of the head).. take up some weight with the chain-fall and just 'whale away with a two by four'. Don't be feeling like the 'Lone Ranger'.. gonna' be popping the top on my 35 here soon.

Thanks for the removal tip. I figured it had to be fairly simple to do but rather than having to fix something later because of a wrong choice I thought I would check here. My 35 has a Continental 134 engine so hopefully the head will not be so stubborn.

Thanks again,
Rich

I've always just wrapped strapping or ropes around the whole engine (i.e. beneath the sump) and supported it that way. No risk of damage if you make sure they're not pressing in on anything too delicate.

I did it like David..Used towing straps wraped around the engine...Just be careful it is balanced and doesn't tip out of the straps.
