I was thinking about your post and having to manhandle that motor out of position (that could make for painful after efects)
Can you get a pickup close in then use a engine lift in the bed
The truck will do three things for you. 1 prevent the front wheels on the lift from sinking into the dirt 2 the bed will allow the lift to move alittle.
and 3 its always easier working downward ,not reaching up or over.
Thats all the help I can give lol.. greyhead

I have lifted the pony off by myself and it isn't a lot of fun. .some kind of lift would make it a lot easier.

With the end of the pinion control flopping around it sounds like the 1/2" ( I think) shaft that keeps the starter pinion control from rotating may nave broken. That broke on one D2 I had and as I recall, the only way to replace that is to split the engine from the transmission to get enough room to work on it. I replaced the one on mine with a piece of 1/2" (I think) cold rolled shaft.

After getting the broken chunk out of the control, I put the two pieces together to get the correct length of the new part. After shoving it in, I cross drilled and pinned it in.

I did this several years ago so my memory could be a bit foggy. .

Ol Grump,

Do you know why it broke? The D2 3J that I just purchased is broken as well. First one that I have seen. They all seem to be on the D2's. I think the parts are the same as the D4.
