Engine stand

I made an engine stand for the Chief. Holds engine and transmission as a unit, using the same mounts as the frame.



To borrow a line from Jockey Journal, looks "like it was welded by a blind child", but it will work, and I got some practice.

    That's cool. I built the whole Tiger motor without an engine stand so I now know how cool it would be to have one. Lynn let you set it up on the dining room table yet?

    Not on the dining room table yet. This engine holds more oil than the Exxon Valdez, and it's still leaking out.

    I love the stand. And, I love that you painted it red... Just need an old engine to make a stand for :-)

    Careful... There people around here that could make that sort of thing happen. When is Tenino again?

    English Steven! I thought you would have a Vincent V-Twin leaking on the dining room table by now! The red was what I had left over from some previous project!
