Heavy Duty Steel 2 Ton Engine Hoist Load Leveler with 2 Chains 4000 lbs

Got this for my guy who is restoring a 1996 Ford diesel. He needed this to lift the old motor out and put the new motor in. It worked great and he was quite please. Good quality for not a lot of dollars and did the job intended.

Hi. This load leveler works great! I used it to pull a 440 Big Block Mopar with the 727 Torqueflite transmission attached, out of my '71 Challenger. I had never used one before - as you can see I set it up with the cranking handle facing the engine crane, which is wrong, as at extreme lift angles the cranking handle will hit the crane stopping any further rotation! Have the handle facing the windshield, not a fault of the leveler obviously just a heads up. But, with all that weight, there was zero flex in the leveler, and the cranking was very smooth/easy. NOTE ---- The item is pictured with different chains to that which ship with the unit. Overall. very pleased with my purchase. I would say, buy with confidence for sure.

After fighting with trying to get my motor's flexplate to line up with the torque converter for days, I finally broke down and ordered this tool. Once I hooked it up, I had everything lined up and was bolting it together in less than an hour. You could get by without it with a standard trans, but with an automatic this tool is a necessity.

Great product and amazing price! Recommend this item!

The item worked as described, however just getting small pieces of chain that would not work for v-8's is a problem. I had to go to the hardware store and spend another 30$ to make it work. No adapter plates just chain pieces, really?? The handle spins off in the middle of the adjustment, poorly designed. OK if patient and not on the clock. But if I had to do it again, I would go with a better product ...
