F200 restoration

[ShawnAgne]

Getting ready to restore my new to me F200 I pulled out of Ash Flat AK.  Question if I pulled the bolster and have it supported on the sides behind the motor will the motor be ok hanging out like that?  Watched a channel on you tube where a guy in New England is doing a SC like this but just seems like a lot of weight to be hanging.

 

Was going to make some stands like Pete Larson uses on his Chanel.  

 

Any advice appreciated.

You wouldn't happen to mean Ash Flat, Arkansas would you? 

As far as what you're wanting to do, go for it. I've had a 300 sitting on blocks under the clutch housing to change the bolster out, and even though the 200 doesn't have frame rails that little engine isn't heavy enough to hurt anything.

Yes it would!  Sorry forgot AK was Alaska and AR is Arkansas.  Saw it online loved what I saw.  Talked to the nice people there and snatched it up quick.  Love it just want to make it prettier.  Got a woods L306 mower deck for it and once its done it will rotate in with the 100 and 300 for mowing and kid tractor ride duties.

Ok thats kind of what I thought.  I'd done the same with mu Cub but wanted to make sure.

Yep. Won’t hurt a thing to remove the front bolster and support the bell housing. Engine will be just fine. 
Got a 200 myself. She is no beauty queen, but she runs and drives great. 
I’d like to see some pics of your project.
