I bought a 2 ton engine crane from Harbor Freight in August for about $170 when I did my transmission swap....it is a beautiful thing. I'm sure I'll get lots more use out of it over the next 50 years.

An OM617 weighs about 550-600lbs by itself, add another 125 if the transmission is attached. Heavy!
