rustyz Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 does anyone have a rough idea on the weight of a END673? looking at picking one up for a project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Freightrain Posted January 25, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 25, 2023 1000-1200# or so. I know my folding engine crane would just pick it up with the boom all the way in. I unloaded my 237 from a small trailer with it. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyz Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 thanks, was worried it was a lot heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Engine didn't have a flywheel on it, so that saved it from being even heavier. The crane wasn't happy about it, but did lift it. 100# here, 100# there adds up quickly. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

1wonton Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I'd rather play Russian roulette than lift this engine with that car-engine hoist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Yes, I don’t think I would try it.. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 For some reason, the engine looks really small in that photograph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 it's a gamble with the crane also with using just one bolt on front to hook chain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I think you're closer to 1500#'s or maybe a little more. When I swapped from a EN402 to a END673 all I had was a car lift rated at (supposedly) 3,000#'s. I did it by myself, no help. Wouldn't recommend it. I bent the lift and got it in without killing myself. The Cummins NH220 I've been messing with is 2,700#'s, quoted in the book I have for it. It's heavy and I don't mess around anymore. I borrow a 5,000# lift from a friend, now. If you have to move or lift it, make sure you have the right capacity equipment. Be safe don't hurt yourself or someone else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only lifted about 3" to get the trailer out from under it, then down to the ground. I didn't trust it to go any farther. When I installed it in the truck, I borrowed a buddy's wrecker. 4 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

h67st Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Actually the 673 engines weigh 2,000 lbs. I can dig out my repair manual, that's where I saw this info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I was going to say about that figure also. Something close to one metric ton, maybe a bit less. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
