They are around 200 lbs without the converter, I just pick them up and put them on the bench and carry them around alone. They are such an odd shape I find it easier moving them alone, but sometimes going from the gound to the bench can test your will! I always work on them standing up just like in the pic with the diff end pointing down. When I tear them apart they are all the way on the bench and I remove the diff and associated parts first then tip the trans up on an angle between the bellhousing and the diff area.
