Good start on an engine stand

Heat Houser · Dec 30, 2013

Decided to build an engine stand using a final drive from a JD 6600 combine. Have a rim from an 8820 that was run loose so will cut the rim off and use the flat center as the engine mounting plate. I have a worm gear box from a rusted out cement mixer and will use that to turn the final to rotate the block.

Why did you hang it from the ceiling.

But will the gears be heavy and sturdy enough?!! LOL

Do you think I will have to drain the oil and use synthetic to gain film strength so I don't spall the gears?....LOL

One thing I see is that you better have a big cherry picker or an overhead hoist, since most cherry pickers won't get the engine close enough with the legs out that far. chris

Very nice. My problem with building nice things like that is, where to put it when not in use. But my shop is only 22x34 with an unheated 16x30 addition.

I am going to add some "stand offs" underneath so the cherry picker legs will clear the bottom beams.

That is a nice JD B in the background. Dad had a similar one (1947) with the same Firestone tires, are they original?

Heat Houser · Dec 30, 2013

Don't know about the tires....it is a '47. Hood hasn't been cut for the muffler. I am the ??? owner and sometime before me, the flywheel was run loose. Have a donor tractor but haven't started this one yet. This one is non roll-o-matic.

Turn your confuser upside down and it will be okay.

Good indoor project for this time of the year. Looks like a English Wheel in the back ground. What do you make with it? Stan

Can't do that I use an IPad and it just keep turning back over.
