An engine stand is a tool, sort of. After I made the 235->261 swap in 2004, I surely wouldn't need it anymore so I converted it with 2-by stock to hold 3 classic Merc outboards. (If removing one, it has to be the one on the right first!)
Well, I still need it for outboards so I just bought another engine stand for the pulling the 261 and reinstalling it after checking it out, rebuilding, ??
