Guest brad Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 how about the wct5? reason I'm asking, I'm looking for a cheapo engine/tranny hoist and I'm wondering what's the worst in terms of capacity I would need. one more - anybody got a cheap source for hoists?

Mike kZ Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 I remember reading that the T56 weighs around 120#. The WCT5 weighs less, but not sure what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 Yeah, I heard 125 lbs for the T56. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 120-125 lbs sounds about right from when I lifted my T56 out of my truck to the ground. Its nothing you want to schlep around very far thats for sure (if you do you'll make faces like this: ). Judging by the case and the fewer gears in the T5, I'd guestimate probably 85-90 lbs.

DavyZ Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 Lone, you'd be right about that. JTR says it's "87 pounds as shown (with bellhousing and shifter)." David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 Heh, now weigh a Tremec 5speed It's a pig too IMO and I'll bet it's pushing close to 100lbs. The blowproof shields, if you use one, are scary fat too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 The Tremec 5spd is right around 100 lbs. The Lakewood blow sheild is about 25-30 lbs. My UPS driver has a bad back, thanks to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 Brad, Not sure what you have in the way of commerce there in Ashevill; as far as engine hoist & stands go-look for a "Harbor Freight" a "Northern Hydraulic" or go to your nearest "Sams". Usually the Harbor Freight & Northern Hydraulics will have a "Lowest Price Gaurantees" & you can play each one against the other for a lowest price gaurantee! Not sure but I think all Northern Hydraulic stores now go by "Northern". Dont get to cheap of an engine stand-I'ver heard stories about the cheap one's colapsing under the weight...I'ld opt for the slightly more expensive engine stand/as for the hoist-they're usually pretty close in capacity unless you're pulling Cummins & Catapillar engines One consideration on the hoist; make sure you get one w/adjustable length legs. Some times on my hoist when I have to extend picker part of the hoist-the rear wheels at the base will begin to lift....luckily my legs on my hoist extend & the balance is restored: just FYI.

Guest Jason Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 Check the big online vehicle replacement parts dealers for engine hoists. I got mine for under $200 shipped UPS after using a 15% off coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
