Default Engine hoist mod

Don't know where is the best place to post this so will do it here. If you are usually working by yourself like me, you might want to consider this. I got tired of trying to guide an engine into or out of a tractor and raise or lower it with the hyd cylinder of my engine hoist. Also letting it down just a 1/4" or so is almost impossible. So I added a HF worm gear winch at the end of the boom. Now I can guide with one hand and reach up there and raise or lower it 1/16" if I need to. The worm gear stays where it is when you quit turning it. Made a huge difference in the ease of use. Hopefully you can check out some pictures here.
