On the weight, I don't remember ever seeing a definitive figure on the
R16/4spd combined weight. The tranny is fairly easy to sling around,
I'd guess 50# or under. the motor though, i dunno. Are you using a
cherry-picker type hoist or a drop hoist from a beam? The regular 12
oz rust-oleum type spray caps fit over the tailshaft nicely.
