Re: [Mgs] watch your chains

[Charley & Peggy Robinson <ccrobins@ktc.com>]

I've always used chains to pull/install engines, etc.  My original 
setuup was an A-frame and chain falls.   Later on I bought a knock-down 
engine hoist of the cherry picker type and short to medium length chains 
to suit the job.  My approach on chains has always been to select chains 
of at least twice the weight-carrying  capacity of whatever I intended 
to lift.  Never had one break.

BTW, anyone want to buy a hoist?  My engine pulling days are over. :-(
