Default KR Wilson

Hey guys. I am trying to identify some parts to a KR Wilson engine stand. First I am wondering if some of you gurus could tell me the adaptor that is on the stand? I will need help with some others also, as soon as I get pictures. Thanks! Ron

What is the number on it? All Wilson tools have/should have a parts number. Someone then can look it up. If you are trying to ID Wilson tools you might think about getting one or two of the reprint catalogs. If your stuff is early maybe mid 30's and the 1940.

I have one like it with the bench mount base. Dad used it to rebuild third members when he was a Ford mechanic. I have used it for cylinder heads, transmissions, anything I needed to index around. Paul Selfe.

It has 4201-N on each of the swinging arms, along with some small numbers I can,t read until I do some more cleaning. Does that mean anything to anyone? Thanks

I have one for my engine stand, i use it for all the above and it is also very helpfull for banjo rear axle assemply, i put the adapter in horisontal position and use longer UNF bolts with 3/4" spacers through the holes in the driver side axle tube. and it will hold the tube perfectly for adding drive shaft and diff assembly. and i use the longer bolts to clock the banjo center before adding the stock bolts all around.
