Home made tool that works really well.

[Mart]

I wanted to tear down and rebuild an early Ford 3 speed top loader. I decided to invest an hour or so and knock up a simple pair of brackets to act as a stand. I'm part way through the rebuild and can say they work really well. They are made from 1" angle iron with just one weld per side.

You can use it down flat:


Or up on end:

The short legs allow the input shaft to be clear of the bench when on end.


It will also stand up on the back end when the case is empty, which can be useful.
It was an idea I wanted to try, I tried it and it worked really well so I thought I'd share.

Mart.

Very cool. I made one similar to that, except not the short legs. That's a very ingenious design. Thanks for sharing.
