Pictures of YOUR transmission rebuild stand.
Do you folks use a stand to rebuild your transmission? If so I would request you post a picture and a comment or two. I am thinking of building one and would like to see the "state of the art". Thanks in advance to everyone willing to share.

You don't want to over think this, in the day a kitchen table will do.

Re: Pictures of YOUR transmission rebuild stand.
I have used a wide 5 wheel to nestle the trans in, on top of the bench.

Here's the style I manufacture and use. They will fit all Ford 3spd trans cases from '32 to '48..................top shift, side shift, and V8 60.

Here is the pipe with a plywood floor mount. Pipe screws into the bottom drain.

Re: Pictures of YOUR transmission rebuild stand.
Here's one I saw somewhere and copied the pictures to my files for future reference. It may be Vern Tadell's idea/design, can't remember. I've also made some legs using 3/4" angle iron that bolted to the holes in the front bell and kept the case sitting open end up on my work bench. That worked well, but no pictures available, just have to use your imagination

Re: Pictures of YOUR transmission rebuild stand.
Just a simple box section frame to stop it rolling around, can be clamped in vice too.

Re: Pictures of YOUR transmission rebuild stand.
Mine bears a remarkable resemblance to the floor (with some added padding). When they're done I put them on a small padded moving dolly from Harbor Freight.

Re: Pictures of YOUR transmission rebuild stand.
I use a steel pipe plug ( drain plug size )with a chuck of 5/16 flat stock welded to the square. The plug goes in the bottom of the case and the flat stock goes in my vise.
