I noticed. I'll give it two strokes with a sled hammer and you can have it. :hehe:
 
FINALLY.....finally got somewhere with finding out where this big bastard was hatched.

It is from a PX240 Power Unit.

Engine stand located. Picking up tomorrow morning from a buddy. For some reason I guess I thought these motors mounted to a stand on the side of the block. It will never rotate if that is the deal. I guess I make a plate to mount it to the bell housing? Will it hold up that long SOB like that?

Take the flywheel and housing off. You can't use that chit anyway. Build your plate to bolt to the block.
 
Thanks for the info. I'll try to get it up on the rack tomorrow and start removing things I don't need....like the injection pump. :evil

I now have part number for all the filters, oil, fuel, water, water separator, etc. I can give you those numbers if you think you will have them and you can ship them to me. Or if you don't think it would be worth your time, I can try to find them local and save the shipping. Up to you. I'll give you the binnes if you want it. :D
 
I believe most hang them from the side because their stands won't hold it the other way. Grown ass man stands can handle it from the rear. No homo.

Shoot me the list in my email. You should maybe get it in there and running before we sell you too many filters.
 
Holy crap, Brad! You are dying to make me get out Solidworks and design a cradle. What the hell? LOL

I was going to ask this morning.....therefor I will now....will the cast flywheel housing I have hold it if I simply cut the SAE 3 bolt pattern on the outside of a piece of 3/4" plate and the hub pattern on the stand in the center or is that too much counter-levered weight on the flywheel housing?

It's easier to measure and cut round patterns than to try to match that dang block....but I don't want it to fall. What say all?

I was thinking I could make a bracket that bolts on the front where the fan bracket is missing and it could take some of the weight off the back.

I really don't see a problem using the flywheel housing. Only reason you don't see that done is you can't tear it apart like that. Can't get the crank out.

For what you're doing, you don't care.
