Charlie,

Good show on pulling the engine by yourself. Took me 5 hours to pull the one 10 days ago by myself, and it was all I could do to push the A frame on hard ground, with a slight uphill incline. I'm 53, and that is a good days work for me.

I have a short section of chain with small hooks I have specifically for pulling engines, as the hooks on the Aframes are too large for the lift holes on the engines. A helper picked it up for me on one of his three trips to the hardware store trying to get an engine out. We got run out at closing time, but I was able to get back the next morning to finish by myself before anyone else laid claim to the almost out engine!
