For others that had a hard as time as I did finding pics or info on lifting this motor:
After searching post after post and looking all over for the correct tool, I rigged my own lift eye using a harmonic puller, grade 8 bolts w/washers and two lock (crimped) nuts.
I really wanted an eye nut to lift directly from the shaft. If you have a Fastenal near you, you may be able to order in the correct diameter and thread/pitch for an eye nut (recommended) but that assumes you are able to give them information correctly & accurately- I was not.
This is what I used:
I also built the stand (slightly modified)from here:

Hope this helps anyone else with this motor looking for options.
