o quiet, I'm hesitant to disturb the peace...... :-)
I have decided to construct some type of apparatus to
enable me to single-handedly remove engines from my
cars. I have used a 'store bought' engine puller in the
past. I like them, but don't have the space to store one
when it's unused. I think I want to build a permanent
"gallows" type arrangement out of wood. This will be used
primarily for Spitfire engines, not very heavy (2 people can
easily lift one with a 2X4).
Any words of wisdom, tips, things to avoid etc.?
I am especially interested in what to use for the 'hoisting'
mechanism. I don't think I want a chain hoist. Probably
some type of 'come-along' cable-ratchet seems to be
about right. I am not concerned about the lifting point being
'fixed' although I realize that's a disadvantage. The car is
easily pushed around by hand.
Thanks in advance,
