4 axis engine hoist

After a leisurely engine rebuild with Pat, aka Mangogroove, the engine finally slipped in tonight using my micro digger.

engine in with digger
engine in with digger


By crowning the bucket I could alter the angle the engine was sitting at.

Many thanks to Pat for helping rebuild the engine. Just got to hope it runs!

So it's not just me who 'over uses' machinery....


Used to bend a sump gaurd.....


It has also been used to remove engines and even to lift the car off over an engine.....

You want to be careful that the pinto doesnt tip the digger over

^^ I wouldn't call that 'over use' just efficient use of the available resources


I've used this little tool a few times now...

When you see a sign in the digger saying 'not to use as a crane' all you do is think of things to lift with it.
