Anyone have a pic of their engine stand they made? I am getting ready to pull the engine on my D25J and my regular stand is in no way near heavy duty enough to hold it. I have plenty of steel and little money! I'd rather buy parts! Thanks!

Here's one my brother built...has a salvaged worm gear to turn heavy eninges/transmissions. You can see in the pics that he makes special adapter plates for specific use. It usually mounts on the side of engine/trans rather than the end, but could be used either way.

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40 If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

How much does the D2 engine weigh (roughly, including head, flywheel housing, sump)? It'd have to run close if not over 2000# wouldn't it? I'd love to only spend $120 on a stand that could safely support the engine...
Cheers,
Neil.

I'm pretty sure it's over #2000. I think i'm going to build one like D6c10K has posted. I'm not going to pull the motor until a little more snow goes around here. Thanks for the info.

I dropped by the HF store yesterday to kill some time waiting for an appointment & happened to notice the "2000 LB." engine stand....I would definitely not want to put anything bigger than about a 429-460 Ford or 454 GM on it to be safe...My big engine stand is loaned out right now, I'll try to get a pic of it one of these days if I'm out that way...it was built for 12V-71 Detroits, so most engines don't phase it a bit....I've had a 3306 on it, didn't even know it was there....

I don't believe the diesel engine weighs over 2,000 lbs...
You will take the pony and radiator off...
I suggest you start a new thread asking for the weight of the D-2 engine...
Or, send OzDozer a PM, or IanOz a PM(private message)...or better yet...Willie...the new ACMOC leader...

I helped a friend of mine build this test stand...it will adapt to almost any engine. OK...not a radial engine or large diesel or...etc

That is my TEN engine just before we started it for the first time. This was several years ago now.
