Damn that’s a heavy bitch! I think I looked up long block and it stated 900 to 1000lbs. Just block heads and internals. I think the 6.4 is the heaviest I believe
Black Sheep Garage good video. I wanted to make a video putting a Gear Reduction box on a engine stand. Looks like this stand won't need one.But the older style could use one. I just saw this new stand at H F looks better than the older one. It has swivel caster's and the older had two fixed one's on the front . But if I find a older one I might make the Video anyway.
Thanks, appreciate it thought it would help out other wondering if it was worth it. Have the full engine on it right now minus exhaust manifolds and turbo still working great and turning smooth. Gear reduction video would be great I have one of the smaller ones the absolutely needs it. Good luck buddy be safe
Would that work with casters removed? I could not transfer engine from hoist to stand, I need to get legs under legs of hoist..... BTW .... I dropped engine try to get creative with transfer.
Man that sucks, but have had trouble myself with the T style stands. With this application it is a power tech hoist from o Reilly’s and the harbor freight stand. Since both where A frame style they spoon each other enough too get engine on and off, I have another video on that. As for the casters off I guess you could why not if it gives you the clearance.
Too bad there is so many castor wheels on this stand. It's hard to steer with the far end of the engine/stand going anywhere but where you want it. Too much running around bumping the far, uncontrollable end. Even most cherry pickers have castor wheels on the legs that go under the vehicle. No, just no to that stupid design. They should not put wheels that pivot there.
I completely agree with it wondering around for sure, but I wasn’t taking it very far so never bothered me BUT I did notice yes. For the 150.00 paid for it not bad at all
I had a fully dressed 7.3 on a scale yesterday. 1225 lbs

A drained 4r100 auto trans for the 7.3 is 298 lbs w a triple disk tc in it

@bradconstable2915 glad it helped it will work well for you thanks

Also im looking for a stand for the duramax engines wondering if you would recommend this one
Yes sir I’m sure this would work out no issues good luck with your projects.
