Thought I posted pics of this stand I made years ago back when I wanted to work on my SM420, but can't find any records of such. So, here we go........
While going thru the various boxes of truck parts, I found this stand that I produced back in 2012 which while I had my gearbox out of the truck, I wanted to work on it but did not like the way it sat on my work bench, so somehow I came up with first the front support bar but then didn't like the downward angle towards the back and saw the drain plug looking for some attention, so I added the rear support. So some winter while you're kinda bored.......

Cheers

Is that T leg threaded into a hole on the transmission?

I think the drain plug is 1/2" NPT.

Ok. I didn't quite understand what he meant. That's pretty good.

Yes the T leg threads into the drain hole. It isn't as important as the front support. Just another toy

You did post those pictures. I remember seeing them when I was working on my transmission. Here's the post:

This is awesome! I also noticed the bicycle pedal toe strap. There are lots of other uses for those things.
