weight a motor of d2

The basic engine with pony weighs 1890lbs. With a radiator attached .. and possibly the clutch as well? - you'd best allow about 2300lbs. The power unit fitted with enclosed clutch, radiator and sheet metal, and mounted on I-beam skids weighs 2770lbs.

it's definitely a beast, i just removed mine the pony/rad was off though, i would suggest doing the same.

I removed mine with the rad and hyd control unit all as one.It came out preety easy.The biggest problem I had was to make sure you have the strap or chains place where it will be balanced.Good luck.Mike Durkin

2blujon,
They are a lot heavier than they look. Hicrop is right getting the right balance would be key here.
Also,keep this in mind.The unit that you are going to lift it out with should be stable enough to deal with the little swings and jiggles that always happen.
It does not take much of a lifting devise to lift a ton and a half,but it does however take a well thought out piece to deal with that same weight while it is dangling percariously just above your toes.
Can you imagine what would happen if something went south with that engine about 3 feet of the ground.
I'm confident that someone would be looking for used motor for a d2.
Good luck Vern.

Remember also, to lift from attachment points that are higher than halfway up the engine .. or you're likely to have it turn turtle, inside any chains or slings you're using.
This is because, if you lift from a low part of the engine, you're below the C of G, and there's more weight above the attachment points than below them.
Any jiggle will almost certainly cause the engine to flip inside the slings or chains. Believe me, I've been there and done that, too .. 😞
