OK, so you suggested it, even if not attaching a hitch to it. Just for better handling.
Rather then placing it on the bottom, matching the horizontal square pipe, like to put it up about 6 inches or less above it. So can mount the hitch to it, but avoid it being lower then the frame when I do attach it to it.
Been while since I've removed the engine out of the cage. If I place a cross member about 6 inches above the bottom part of cage, will that leave enough room to drop the engine if need to again?
Also, not sure if can do that. Not sure if being that much higher, if it would be hitting the chain. So may not be an option. However, will do as you suggest at least, and put a member back there. If it help support the cage from breaking, around the engine mount, I'm all for it. I can see that it helps out. Helps the cage from twisting.
