WILLYS JEEP RESCUE: Engine Pull with John Deere Farm Tractor!! Just a good time!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Utilize a John Deere tractor equipped with a forklift attachment and a custom-made lifting setup. The lifting setup consists of two wooden planks secured with chains to the forklift forks, acting as a makeshift spreader bar. Two yellow ratcheting straps are then attached to this spreader bar and wrapped around the engine and transmission assembly, specifically around the engine block and the transmission case, ensuring a balanced and secure lift point. This improvised crane will be used to lift the heavy assembly from the chassis. The presenter also demonstrates a custom-made lifting eye that screws into a spark plug hole, providing an alternative lifting point if needed.

Goal: Set up a safe and effective method for lifting the engine and transmission assembly.

so we'll screw that into the spark plug hole we got the chain on the tractor right here so the chain is on the pallet forks we've got a little short piece of chain down here and once we pull the engine we're going to set it on some old tires on a pallet that's a heavy duty pallet that the compressor came in and we're going to put the pallet on rollers and we'll tuck it back here in the shot and that's the plan that's what we're gonna do I hope fingers crossed so the sun's going down here in good old
