Default Engine straps for lifting engine

I was wondering if anyone has seen or made some kind of engine straps to help lift an engine off the ground? These things are pretty darn having, specially with the S/G attached!! In the garage I can attach a nice come along to the ceiling to help lift one but still need some way to wrap the engine to attach to the come along. Also, I read this great thread here about a guy that made a lift for his cub. Using something like that I could get the engine outside where I can clean it up some and not have to kill myself lifting it.

I myself have a 2" piece of angle iron about 2" long with a 1/2" hole drilled in one side and a 3/8th" hole in the other side. I remove one of the head bolts and run it through the 3/8" hole and bolt it back on the head. The other hole is used for a shackle and chain. Attach your lifting devise to the chain and walla a means to safely lift said engine.

Is that safe to do against that bolt? Isn't that a lot of stress pulling on the bolt on an angle? Also, I'm guessing you need to remove some of the heat shielding metal to do this correct?

I use the handy dandy Harbor freight lifting straps. You can get them in various weight ratings. Search their site for "lifting straps".
I decided to get the stronger yellow ones because I don't trust cheap stuff...LOL!!!
The lesser rated ones would be more than enough for Cub engines and they would be easier to work with. The yellow ones are fairly stiff but they're cheap.

Wow those are nice and not to expensive at all! I might just pick up some of these and call it a day. Not really looking to make this into some crazy complicated project but still need to protect my back and toes some how Thank you

My 1450 has a lift loop on the head stud that I hook a strap to for lifting. I checked my O also, it it has a small loop on the head stud for lifting as well. It has a later replacement 8hp engine in it, so I don't know if the early ones had the loop or not. Here is the one on my 1450.

Exactly, I totally agree.
You can easily secure a flexible wrap and you can use more than one to provide balance and more safety. I think I'll get a couple of the lower rated ones because they're slimmer and would be easier to route through spaces. I'm referring to more than just Cub engine lifting. Heck, you can warp a couple under an entire tractor and lift it onto a table if you wanted.

Bingo! I think I'll grab two of each grade. The purple ones along will be way more then I need to even pick up the tractor but some overkill is always good. I would stick with all yellow but I'm glad you told me about the stiffness of those. Might be a pain to get around the engine sometimes so the thinner ones will really help. Also looking at their 1 ton chain hoist so I have something to connect these straps too

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
