Why wouldn't one simply transport a "spare" in the cargo hold?

AOG at remote locations need engine changes, an engine can

I've got photos of the spare engine mount hard points....if I had an easy place to post them I would. That is the strangest damn thing I have ever seen. Do these hard points exist on all 747's, or just a few for special use? -- Jim in NC
