I'm using parts of this method to build the head for an engine stand and a slightly lighter version, 1.25 inch 10 spline as opposed to the larger 1.5 inch 10 spline, for a car frame rotisserie. I'm using steel I have lying around to build the main frames for both instead of modifying the light weight stand I have. It never fit between the legs of my hoist, and was never fun to move around the shop anyways. The other videos I've seen here of guys using this method are using 1/2 inch bolts to secure the slack adjuster. That immediately set off alarms for me. Not too much of an issue if it's a short 1/2" bolt, but I saw a couple with bolts nearly as long as your solution. No bueno. I prefer your solution, especially on a heavy duty stand.
👍👍..i literally just picked up and assembled the black harbor/ Daytona 1500 lb stand... for a B series Cummins... it's got the hand crank.... haven't mounted one on it yet...you think I may have to modify it before i even use it???🤣🤣
It will probably be fine. I'm pretty sure I saw @I_Do_Cars disassemble some pretty heavy engines on them. It might not hurt to put a jack under the front of the engine while the head is on. If nothing else it breaks, take it back? Just don't be under it. 👍
@@alabamamotionpictureproduc6626 i don't have any extra p7100s laying around but I do have a "first gen" rotory ve pump. Thats supposed to be a fairly easy swap
Thanks for sharing your experience

Awesome, It would be great for that 👍
I have seen many with the long bolts, they wouldn't be good with a heavy load on them.
slack adjusters is the most versatile thing
sweet deal!! im going to get me that set up. different stand though. thanks for the idea!

@@AndyFromm 🤣🤣🤣ten four 👍👍👊
2 hands. That's what's she's used to! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great idea Andy👍🏻
That is brilliant.
Yes
Great idea!
For how cheap this mod is it's freakin' brilliant.
@@HumanBeing-yl5mk thanks 👍
I have is made it cordless power rotate by adding a semi truck tarp motor to this.
So you ended up adding a bearing?
That front bearing comes on the newest hf stands
Pretty slick, to Napa I go haha
It might just be a fluke but my napa one turned out to be bad, my amazon one is better.
Can you make a video about your other buckets
I have 2 buckets, what would you like to see about them?
How the work and are you planning on adding hydraulic lines for the backhoe in case you want a hammer or auger
@@charlestaylor2480 i don't plan on putting a auger or hammer on it. I have an auger for my skidsteer
Good stuff!
where's that 24 valve going Andy?
Hopefully a tractor
@@AndyFromm I don't know a whole lot about 24Vs do they require a PCM? Isn't the injection pump not just mechanically operated?
@@alabamamotionpictureproduc6626 pretty much, I haven't messed with them myself. I know you can put a mechanical pump on them if need be
@@AndyFromm ah yes that's true, I've seen people put p7100s on them
