Default 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.

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.

Mine looks exactly like my work bench - because it is my work bench.

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

This what I use. I tapped a piece of box steel and then mount that in the vice. Works well for me.

I've also fabbed up cradles out of the bed frame angle iron. Works great.

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

Yes, I know a little overkill!

Just a simple box section frame to stop it rolling around, can be clamped in vice too.

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.

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.

That's the one I use instead of just a piece of pipe in the drain hole. It allows you to move the trans around with out loosening the vice. Worked great.
