mackmodelb Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Good morning guys. I am in the process of removing the engine and trans from my B73. As they were both working fine, I was thinking of pulling them both out together, and not separating them. Can anyone give me a rough weight estimate? I would like to try a manual chain hoist instead of the payloader. Thinking of purchasing a 5 ton chain hoist for this project. Just trying to figure out if this has been done by anyone before, or if I should not attempt to do it together. I want to get them out in order to scrape off 50 years of grease on the frame before a good sandblasting and repaint. Then the goal is to clean up the engine and trans, paint and reinstall into the frame.Thanks for any input.

Gmerrill0516 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I picked and placed the 707 and 5 speed in the fire engine as a unit. I did have a loader and operator at my disposal as some poking and prying was needed by me to get it free and then back in place. I don't know the exact weight but it is far less than 5 tons. I would believe that conservatively 5000# is close to the weight. Working with a 3 ton or greater set of gear should get it done in my humble opinion. Someone here may have the actual numbers...what transmission is it? A quadbox will be a bit more hefty.

j hancock Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Engine with clutch is probably about 2200 lbs. A 10,000 lbs (5 ton) hoist would be more than capable of engine and trans as a package. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mackmodelb Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks for the response. I was thinking that a 3 or 5 ton hoist would be sufficient. I am going that route vs the loader, as I want a bit more control over what is going on and I can keep it in the shop. The trans is an 18speed quadruplex.

Vladislav Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 673 ci engine is about 1 metric ton.TRD 10 speed tranny is nearly 600 kilograms.18 speed might be heavier.You will not go over 2 metric ton anyway.

Maddog13407 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 a 20 or 18 speed quad actually weighs a lil more than the engine I think. probably both together would be around 4400lbs Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41240-end673-weight-question/#findComment-299154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackmb212 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.I scraped my 711 a few weeks back it was exactly 1600 but it had everything removed no exhaust manifold,water pump,oil cooler,injector pump,air compressor,bell housing,clutch. I was able to lift a fully dressed 237 minus the clutch with a one ton hoist.
