My '44 H is in need of a rebuild and after hanging around the forum for the last 2-3 years, and asking a few questions, I believe that I'm ready to attempt it.

First things first - I need an engine stand, engine hoist and load lever. What size do I want (I'm also looking at rebuilding an M but nothing bigger)? Where is the best place to buy them? Are the sets I see on e-bay a good deal?

Any help here would be a huge help. Thanks

Hi Slappy, If you ever go to any Federal government surplus sales you can probably find
used engine heavy duty stands.

They may even have an A-frame with a chain hoist. These A-frames have wheels so you can move them into position and are ideal when
connecting components together. You would need a concrete floor to support one of these.

We used these a lot when an overhead
crane wasn't available and they're ideal when it comes to safety. When I pulled an engine from a car I rented an engine hoist and it was disassembled on a pallet. I told the man there I needed a 2 minute instruction as to how to assemble it. He put that thing together in about 3 or 4 minutes. It was a big unit with a long reach and was very stable. It was capable of lifting a heavy load. Good Luck, Hal

Thanks for the great advice guys. CNKS, thanks for the warning. I do have a narrow front end but will be pulling the engine.

Word of caution. Most hoists are rated at 4000 lbs, but that is with the lift arm at it's shortest setting. The longest setting is about 1/4 that. There is usually too much stuff in the way to use the shortest setting. I split my Super H using an itermediate setting if I remember right, for the front end -- barely adequate, and very unstable. If you are removing the engine it's ok, if you are supporting the whole front end from the clutch forward, it's not, particularly if it has a narrow front. For what I did, I should have blocked the front, and rolled the rear back, but I didn't have a dolly for the rear.

I think the best place to look would be one of the auto parts stores in your area, that way you get to look at it in person, talk about warranties, repair parts availability, etc. I have looked at the engine hoists offered on e-bay, I really believe they are as good as any, but, and here's the clincher, check out what the shipping costs are going to be, I think I could go to my N.A.P.A. store and bring it home myself for less money. You will want at least a 4,000# rated hoist, overkill is always good when it comes to hoists.
