I wasn't happy with the flimsy piece of plywood I had supporting the engine. I also didn't like the cheap harbor freight jack. So I returned the HF jack for the Craftsman and built a proper support for the engine.
First to get the board out from under the engine I had to support the engine. I strapped it to the motor mounts and suspended it from the chassis. Then I built a dolly and support for the engine. This way, I can roll it around on the dolly and use the jack to support the tranny when I split them.  So now I'm at a spot where I can work on it. I'll be taking the tranny off and posting some questions on a new thread. Got to figure out why my clutch was acting up.

Jeff,
Good to see you took that HF POS jack back and got the Sears one. I knew if you compared them you'd get the Sears! I love the "battleship" of a dolly you built! I carry a laminated card in my wallet that I refer to whenever I am contemplating either a tool or a major purchase. It states: Quality "The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" It's never done me wrong! Cheers, Grant

Happy to report that I've got it all back together, new Sachs clutch, pilot bearing, seals, actuator fork. Also dropped in some Wevo motor mounts.
Connected everything, fired her up and took a spin. Worked like a champ. Not so hard at all!  image by theclaw900
