As far as I can guess the TR4 and TR4A engines are identical. My TR4A engine
has the front lifting eye (behind the water pump) I used a fender washer to
secure the link of a chain at the manifold stud as the rear lifting point. No
problems. Except that cast iron TRactor engine and tranny weight a ton or at
least more than four times my wieght. I was using a block and tackle with a
four to one ratio and literally picking myself up. Get a buddy or do as I did
and hook your feet under the front bumper, or buy a spridget.
But I see no reason why you can't use the fender washer method at both points.
