Lifting Johnson OB

[tsubaki]

Look in the top of the flywheel you'll see three threaded holes (5/16 fine thread I think). If you have access to a welder, cut a plate and lifting eye, weld them together.
With cardboard, place over the holes for a pattern by lightly tapping with a ball pein hammer. Drill or cut the holes and transfer the pattern to the lifting plate.
Careful to use the correct length bolts. Don't run them in too deep and damage the stator or the like.




dang, FERM and spare bet me to it. I'm getting slower and slower trying to post

Thanks everybody.

I will probably use Ferm or Spares idea. I do not need to lift it too long. It should be hanging maybe 2 minutes to take a bolt out. It will take longer to set up my lifting apparatus (pipe and clamp scaffold.)
