Quick and dirty engine stand, cheap too.
« on: October 26, 2011, 11:20:16 PM »
I challenged myself to come up with a bench top engine stand for an XS650 engine using stuff scrounged in the basement and came up with this tonite.  I was able to find several short scraps of unistrut, L brackets, and enough square nuts, washers, and bolts.  Surprisingly all I had to cut was the 3/8 all-thread that runs through the bottom engine mount.  It's very stable and I can slid it around the floor without to much effort and is easy to pick up with a two wheel hand cart from the side.  0$ and I didn't have to leave the house.;D
