Lightbulb Modified a shoping cart

kgs365 If you can find an older shopping cart that is steel, all you have yo do is weld on some side plates or leave the lower tray on it and use a block of wood to balance it. It will side in and out with oil pan on. This is just a theory though. Rick

It was sorta like this...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-1...=p4506.c0.m245

And even if it's not, that one is for $.01 with free shipping. You could modify it any way you had to for a penny.

Got one of those myself, it's a nice stand. You ordered the wide one, right? His standard stand won't clear the pan.

Nice thing about Stumpy's is you can actually work on the flywheel.

Too bad I did not see your post soon enough. I have a pair I would have either gave or loaned to you, just like Ronbo's link.
