I've read some old threads that talk about how topple-prone stovebolt are on a stand. This looks better than those three leg things, but need some advice. Rated for 750 lbs and listed on CL.
StandI read through the responses quickly and I don't know for sure if anyone answered your original post! I would use that stand, IF the wheels were not buggered up, and then would use two people to move the engine short distances on level, good quality, smooth cement. When going over the purchase flip the stand to its side and check the wheels, if unoiled or balky, ask the guy for some oil and see if the bearings are shot. If you had to buy good quality wheels that would be $40 or so, might as well go with one of the new ones suggested. If ok in the bearing dept look at all the welds carefully, any re welds, poor welds walk away even if he's selling for a song. I like that lower gusset, could be a higher quality stand.
I bought a used heavier duty stand and the mounting area was really buggered up, our own Grigg spent a
good hour making it right, btw he's a certified machinist.
My lesson is check new OR used carefully.
