Built A Jib For My Engine Lift

It is not done exactly but I used it to put the hood on my 961 dorF. If you have never took one off and put them back on you wouldn't understand.

Dick, do you have a close up of how that jib is attached to the crane arm?

I'll get you one. I just cut two pieces angle iron a coupla inches long. Not sure it I used a ruler. Might have sawed one and used it for a gage. I C clamped a piece of square tubing with washers as shims and welded the short angle iron fast. I hand drilled a pilot hole thru the one side of the angle iron and thru the jib. Took it to the large drill press and drilled square thru with a 1/2" bit. Nothing fancy. I only had a few minutes before I had to do something else more important.
I was watching one of those RC construction videos and they were operating a crane with a jib and I said why didn't I think of that a long time ago. I just need to add a jib on my engine lift. The top deal was welded like that on some stuff and I sawed off the extra to weld on the arm.
