Today I finally extracted the engine. We had some inclement weather here and I went away for a week so the project came to a halt for a while. To pull the engine I took the bucket off of my loader and reached up in there to grab it. I have some 5/16" chain that I wove through the lift eyes and the pin hole on the loader arm. I couldn't reach up in there as far as I would have liked because the bus is still on the trailer and the trailer tongue is sort of in the way and that complicated it just a little. Most of the stuff is off the engine so I wasn't too worried about damaging anything but if I wanted to do this and reinstall the engine it would have been a problem. I had to yank pretty hard to get the motor up out of the mounts, those bolts stick out a bit. Even stalled the tractor lifting up and bent one motor mount.
Next are the front wheels and the rear axle, then off to the scrap yard.

"Inclement weather"? Yeah, I'd say so, LOL!
On the end of your Loader arm...worried about twisting and pulling the cylinder over the side of the arm. You have a hoe? If so, the arm on the back of the bucket might fit between those loader eyes with pins- to keep it straight.
Or it may be worth making something if you're going to do this a lot. You don't want a bent cylinder Ask me how I know
Looks like you're definitely making progress! Next time we're out your way, I owe you a drink for the fuel regulator poppet, thanks!

Negative on the hoe, it's a three point hitch back there. The ram is tight and won't slide off, but good eye and beer? I'm always good for a beer but it's not like you owe me, that was an easy one. I never thought about a bent cylinder, that would be my luck.

Well, we'll call it "owe." It will make a good excuse
But my excuse is my P-brake is somewhat weak and the light on the dash is intermittent.
Ask me how I know
