That's what I thought was going on there.

That's pretty awesome actually.

But I thought he made some sort of adapter for a traditional engine stand.

So what do Dave Motohead's engine stand adapters look like?

Do you build 140 engines? And do you secure valve seats in any way?

My dad used to tell me when snap on wrenches break they burry them deep in the ground. I don't know if it's true but it stuck with me. Seriously, I have tools older than 70 years. And they're still serviceable. Love 'em! So I bought the engine stand. I took it to the sand blaster. I'm going to throw...

Hey Daddy O! YOU can call me Ho Daddy. I live I. New Mexico with wide expanses like Australia. But I have to tell you. I am fascinated with Aulstralia. It seems beautiful. I even had a girlfriend from Inverel. I have an early model with a 68, 140 engine. Runs pretty good. 68 was a good year for Corv...

I've actually done that in my drinking days with a Harley Davidson fiberglass saddlebag. But it melts fast in the summer.

Here's what I'm looking at.
It's got wheels. The rust is way only surface rust and that silver paint on the top not galvanized steel.

Good work Wittsend. The only problem is I have a severe aversion to HF. Most my friends are at their Wittsend with me as I won't step foot in the store as i am a leftist against filling our landfills with there merchandise. I will not o into the store, I've become a complete bore because it's qualit...

You guys are great to answer so timely. I am familiar with Removing the engine. I have done it thanks to some plans I found online to make a cart made specifically for my motorcycle jack. All I did on that o ocasion was remove a transmission seal. It was documented on here. What I am going to do now...
