Fully agree on the load leveler now. I probably could have done it myself if I would have had one of these.

So basically I'm hearing a bunch I been doing it the hard way by separating them each time. Thanks for the clarity again. Got my engine stand, leveler, and cherry picker for $70 and damn was that a deal haha

I remove from the bottom. I made a cradle to hold them out of wood and put that on a froniture dolly. It works great, I leave almost everything on the engine. I dont think it would be nearly as easy without a lift from the bottom. Easy to do alone.

$70 was a steal for sure. I paid $100 for a used 2 ton engine hoist about a month ago and thought I got a deal.

That's a damn good idea.

Notice the small ratchet strap underneath to keep it from tipping over.

Dude, I love it.

Luckily I have some leftover lumber from a recent project, all I need to do is find some wheels and put it together.

I pulled it out together and install separately, your setup looks too nice to ding and scrape up. Even with a load leveler it's hard to get them in together. Everything is very close.
