One ton northern tool engine stand

SVcummins · Mar 5, 2021

Well the parts never have showed up that didnt show up with the rest of the stand so I had a machine shop build me an engine ptate . Picked up some square tubing going to extend the rear legs about a foot on each side . Eventually going to order a 3 inch pillow block bearing and replace the junky pipe system it now has .

By the time you finish doing the modifications, you could have just built your own stand the way you like it.

Im not much of a builder but Im a heck of a modifier

I never did like a stand like that. When you want to torque a bolt, it moves across the floor. I built my own with removeable 2x4's so the engine can sit solid.

Think of it as making a good idea better.

SVcummins · Mar 5, 2021

This one has legs that lock it from moving

teddy52food · Mar 5, 2021

Those little rollers still slide on a smooth floor.

SVcummins · Mar 5, 2021

Thats how I think of it .

Cutting torch+ grinder+ welder= Modification. Been there done that! I like your work!

I have several stands that i modified much like yours .But i poured 2 8 inch pipes

in the floor , and built stands on them,they don't wiggle or move around. Have

built some large engines on them.

If I build something, I head to the iron pile, and usually find what I need. I start building If I don't think its going in the right direction. I start over, or make it right. Stan

That isnt going to move with a thousand pounds on 4 pads

SVcummins · Mar 6, 2021

44 inches wide and 36 inches long with a little modification

SVcummins · Mar 6, 2021

Yip modify it until it works like you want and it if it still doesnt cut it apart and try again

SVcummins · Mar 6, 2021

I bet that is nice .

SVcummins · Mar 6, 2021

So northern tool emailed me back with a piddly offer of a 27$ rebate . I guess thats better than a poke in the A** but not much after almost 3 months

you going to hang a 5.9 12 valve on that? good luck a and be careful.

So what is going on with the torpedo heater with the cover off? I just went through two of them for a total of 197,000 btu plus another 100K with propane. Now it has warmed up and don't need them. Replaced filters, a rotor, transformer, a nozzle and adapter. Be warm next year though.

I like your seat to set in while your working on your motor.

SVcummins · Mar 6, 2021

I think it just needs cleaned the fuel tank . It runs a
minute and shuts off mr little one did the same thing
it had rusty fuel in it I took it all apart cleaned it out
and it runs good now

SVcummins · Mar 7, 2021

Its actually the right height and I can sit on it 12
hours a day and not be sore when its on a horse
anyway

SVcummins · Mar 7, 2021

Its ready almost for the trial run . Dont know who to send the thank you card and cookies too but someone on here suggested using antifreeze for cutting fluid and boy does it work . An old guy I worked with at new holland taught me how to make a centered hole with a bit the size of the hole sure more accurate than a center punch

Ive seen guys hang big diesels off these stands with no modifications and it is pretty sketchy I have no plans of rolling a fully assembled engine over on this stand and I cant see any reason you would need to either

SVcummins · Mar 7, 2021

24 valve yes

SVcummins · Mar 7, 2021

You have a lot better iron pile than I do if you can build that out of what you have in it .
