home made tractor stand

fltem06 · 06-20-2009, 09:59 AM

Awhile back,there was a fellow that made a stand that used a bottle jack and wheels. He used it when splitting his tractor.I'm looking for a pic of his design. Can anyone help me out??

Use an A frame engine lift. Works great, moveable, has the ram for slight movements.

I used a 2 1/2 ton floor jack to support the back half and an engine hoist to support the front half for my ford 861. Just took it apart two weekends ago in about 3 hours for replacing the clutch, decided to replace some other seals and o-rings, ordered parts and put it back together the following weekend. For me the floor jack stayed up well. The engine hoist, I'll need to add some fluid next time I go to use it because it would very slowly leak down and i would have to jack it back up after a couple days to keep jack from tipping (wheels of jack off ground due to front of tractor rolling forward as jack went down). I could have remedied this by placing a jack stand underneath the engine block but chose to hang two pails of drywall mud from the handles of the jack.

Your question seems "oddly" placed in the New Holland Buying/Pricing forum.

I believe the thread you are looking for is by Newhollandharley and is in the NH Owning/Operating forum.
