Thanked 144 Times in 110 PostsJudge,
I'd guess about 150kg, what sort of stand is it we had 1 on a cheap engine stand for 2 years and it didn't fall over or break !
Regards,
Hamish.

It's in the ballpark of 300lbs with all the goodies still on it, from what I remember of mine. Probably weighs less that that, actually... the crank is the single heaviest part by far.

Thanked 1,733 Times in 1,162 PostsThanks... i was given a 350lb Sealey engine stand last week to hold the engine. I just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't buckle under the weight.....
Also off to buy a crane now.....stupid winch is too weak and unsafe...
