Got my stand made, still need to add some braces to it before I take apart the front end. Bought the steel from the local metal shop out of their scrap pile for $20.
Will probably have to wait for another rainy day before I get back into the shop again.

What kind of paint do you have on your shop floor? Looks like it holds up good and you're not afraid of oil/grease/fuel peeling it off.

Bob, I used a 2 part epoxy on the floor. It is pretty tough stuff, most everything wipes right up except leaving drips of PB Blaster, darned stuff stained the floor in a few spots. I will know next time to put some plastic down when I soak down a tractor ; )

We did drawbar and cooling tests on military vehicles mostly for the Army and Marine Corps.
Here's a picture of the M7 Heavy Mobile Field Dynamometer. It would hold a vehicle pulling 100,000 pounds of drawbar pull. That's including the 3 trailers. Hal

Hal, Is that a special road for those test or is it just out in the boonies somewhere. How long is that rig?

That test course was known as the Dynamometer Test Course. It was a mile long and perfectly flat. In 1992 one of our technician's was running a brake test on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the vehicle flipped over and killed him. He was standing looking out the turret and
was caught under all that weight. The course was made in the early 1940's and never had a fatality. They stopped using that course and
used another course known as 3 mile straightaway.
It was paved too.

It is in the Boondocks and there's beaver in that swamp area. You see what it takes to build in the swamp. Never had any problems with the blacktop heaving. Those beaver were workers they damed up everything causing water to overflow over the roadway. That vehicle had twin Ford Tank engines rated at 500hp each. It was electric drive similar to a locomotive and chain driven too. Hal
PS: The complete unit was over 100 feet long. The turnarounds were a little tight. The M7 weighed 60 tons.

Nice, A brace from rear to bottom would reduce the chance of a forward/rearward tipover of stand. Great job. JimN

Thanks Jim, Yeah I will run a brace from the bottom of the stand to the rear 3/4 hole, about 24 inches. Just need to find some flat or angle stock to make them.
