Christian.....got some pics. I posted them to photobucket, and will post a hot link, rather than the whole pic so as to not burn up the board's bandwidth. This first one shows a left front quartering view. You can see it is a basic "T" shape, fixed casters in front and a swivel in the rear. I used stock bisquit engine brackets and welded them to verticals on the basic framework. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107 ... ly1001.jpg This next one show a right front quartering view. You can see here that the right bracket is fixed/welded to the frame, while the left one is on a "slider" to facilitate install/removal of an assembly. This is due to the left mount wrapping over the oil pan rail. If the left side was also fixed, one would have to wrestle it into position to get it bolted up. (Not too easy if your alone.) http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107 ... ly1002.jpg This one is a rear quartering view showing the slider for the trans mount. It's just a flat piece of 1/4" plate with two holes to match the trans mount spot. Again, a slider to facilitate getting it onto the dolly, and I wasn't sure if I'd run into a different length trans at some time. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107 ... ly1003.jpg This view shows how I attached the left stand to the slider. I got caught off-guard to discover that the left and right bracket pads on the block are not right across from each other, so had to stagger the left one forward a bit. http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q107 ... ly1004.jpg Feel free to copy my design and improve it if you wish. Oh.....you'll notice I used steel/iron wheeled casters. I had a set of car "skates" with hard rubber casters on it, and found out later that they develop flats spots and are real difficult to move after awhile. I've used steel wheels since then. Roger |

Roger, this is great! Thanks! I'm not good at the welding thing but I have a brother-in-law that is. Thanks again. Chris |

Quote: I've got the big engine stand from Harbor Freight. Mine is older and doesn't fold, but is otherwise very similar. http://www.harborfreight.com/2000-lb-fo ... 67015.html Joshua i purchased one of these stands a couple of years ago and it works fine. Harbor Freight has some good prices on most things. A lot of their products work well if your like me, that uses them once in awhile. A lot of their Air tools do a good job to. Wrenches, screw drivers, sockets, and your basic tools i always buy Craftsman.
I've had a slant fall when it was on a smaller stand similar to this. http://www.harborfreight.com/750-lb-cap ... 32915.html |
