Wheel Horse Rearend Stand / Holder

I made one of these about 12 years ago but it was a quickie without much thought put into it and took up a lot of space in the tool box.  On many occasions I could use more than one so I made some more last Sat.  I'll keep 4 of them to use here and made and extra along with a pattern to set up the hole punch in the iron worker, the angle iron is easy enough to measure and shear.  Now if I have one on the welding table wing with the axles still in it I can use them there.  If I have one with the axles out at the same time that needs more work like bearings and such I can use them on a welding table.  It's also good 4 of them stacked will take up less space than the original in the tool box drawer.  

 

Never fails when peeps see things like this made around here they want one so I painted the extra one this morning.  When or if it sells I'll make some more to keep around.  The second and third pics are the new one vs the old one.  The same new stand works on either side of the case as seen in the 4th pic.  The new stand also sits below the hole to remove the parts to get the shift fork rods out, and can be mounted with the angle facing in or out.  The old one was a quickie, not really planned out, and way overbuilt to say the least.  That's what happens when you're working over 80 hours a week and just trying to keep up with work...  

I'll also make a post in the WHS Section about them and the fact we will be selling them now if anyone is interested.  One more thing off the list.
