Ok, finished being lazy last night didn't feel like posting the down pictures. But we got it down last night and started changing some parts from one to the other.

But here is the old coming down and the new going up. 2 chain falls in the front, 2 in the rear (btw you don't want to to the front ones ;) ). The front has about 9-10k #'s each. The rear about 3k between them. hahaha. The front 2 chain falls connect directly to the part of the stand that is connected to the engine. The rear two are connected together via a cable through a pulley on each side in the back. This allows the stand to tilt in the necessary direction to meet with the engine mounts on the pylon at the correct angle.

And here is a couple picks looking up at the pylon. The front mount has just 4 bolts (blue lines), and the rear 8 bolts. That's it for actually holding it on.
