I'd guess at 100kg perhaps? They are hard to lift!

Thanks for the replys great information will be really helpful,a guy over the road has an engine I think is suitable that he does not want, I thought we could man handle it but will use some form of lifting aid now.
Thanks again DaveyB |

tip it over to slide a sheet of ply under it and drag it across if its only over the road. You would be amazed the weight a couple of guys can drag on a piece of ply.
Cheers Stot

A wheelbarrow works too. That's how I have shifted mine - engine and gearbox together although it's easier if you split them. Not difficult to get them apart. Might not do wonders for the wheelbarrow though...

Great engines, got one in the Westfield on twin DCOE's just about bomb proof except for the odd oilway problem. They are affectionately known as boat anchors for a reason tho
