Re: My junkyard find
I have 4 stands made from Model A bells in my shop that I use all the time. I cut off the spring mount and drilled 2 holes in the bearing surface to which I welded 1/2 inch nuts, then found some heavy wall tubing that slipped inside the ends to which I welded short lengths of 3 inch channel on the top end. By adding a 1/2 inch bolt to each of the nuts I have some very useful adjustable stands. Built them about 40 years ago.

Re: My junkyard find
I could use just the outer end of one and I don't care about the bearing surface. Only concern is that the shackle hole isn't worn out.

Re: My junkyard find
Another thing you might want to do is build a "bead breaker" for lawn tractor tires ?
