What is the measurement from the square tubing to the center of the hole for the "clamp" to hold the front of the oil pan? (or from the tubing to the bottom of the hole)

What a nice looking and simple stand! I went the old school route and built one from a T frame. It was a lot of work and took a lot of time. Yours looks like it would only take an afternoon to make. Well done.!Jimmy

From top of tube to bottom of hole is 3/4 inch

From top of tube to middle of hole is 1 3/4 inch

Thanks James, it would cost more to build one than what I paid for this.

Hi James: Question? Which side up is your tranny cover? Does the center angle down, or rise up? Just wondering. Joe

Another engine trolley based on a Model T frame. Infact, the only non model T parts are the front swivel wheel and the RHS it is mounted onengine stand

6 stitches in my finger. Doc did a sloppy job so I'll have another scar. Other than that I am doing fine.

The stand built from tubing would be a good stand for engine work. On the other hand, one made from a Model T frame would be a neat way to display a T engine.

Easy to build but not easy to work on the engine.

Steve,
I have my fair share of scars, Including a couple under my right eye. Considering all the kinds of work I have done, the amazing thing is that I still have all my fingers and toes.
But from what you have said, that sounds like it HURT!
Take care. And thank you.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

Can someone provide me with the measurements for the above wood stand?

Bolt hole center line for mounting engine (width).

Depth to bottom of stand (internal).

Engine mounting surface to front nose mounting surface.

Thanks,

Phillip, I used 2X10s and some long carriage bolts. I'll get the specs next week when I go to the shop again. I also use the stand to run the engine.

This is my engine stand, found it at a swapmeet a few years ago. It was once bolted to a floor in a Model T Ford repair shop.

This one is made from a 2x6 and scrap chipboard. The pan snout slips into a hole bored in the front vertical 2x6 and there are sturdy castors screwed to the bottom at three points. Sorry, I don't have access to an un-cropped photo which would show the details better.

Okay no problem.

Thanks,
