PNW Crew: I need to borrow an engine hoist

[Gerta]

Anybody local to 98036 have an engine hoist I could use for an afternoon?

Hit me back via PM please!

I live in 98036 and me and my buddy have an engine lift... Let me find out if he is using it or not right now...

[goinstrong]

I have one. It is at a friend's house in Edmonds right now. If the other one is in use, let me know...

whats going down Kevin???

[Gerta]

First - Airplane Builder, DenK, Goin ... Thanks guys! I've got an issue with an engine sitting on the ground that I need to get on a stand. Since I broke my back 18 months ago I'm not too keen on trying to lift it by myself. I know it's only an M42 (block and pans only); and I only need to get it on the stand as I need to disassemble it for the machine shop.

Anybody willing to drive by and do 15 minutes worth of work to get it on the stand?

[2mAn]

I might be able to come out one of these days to do it

[Gerta]

Lemme know as I have Monday off

hey Kevin, as we already spoke, let me know when you want it, unless someone is closer than everett...

[Gerta]

Den - thanks. It seems like a lot of effort unless I cant get a couple of strong backs to help me out. If one is closer Ill grab that or if not, I'll be giving you a call.

I wish I was local to you, I would be happy to lend a hand. If you pull the mounting plate off the stand, you can bolt it to the engine while it is on the ground. Then a couple of guys can lift it up and slide the whole works back onto the stand

[Gerta]

Lucky that's what I'm thinking ... I started last night but my bolts are a little long.

[Gerta]

Crisis averted ... Engine on stand.
