At 70 I find it difficult to put one these Muncie four speeds in by myself so I made this cradle and bolted it to my floor jack. If I had to do several I would have bought a transmission jack but for just one it worked great.

I did the same & yours looks better than mine. I did the transmission bench press a few times & got tired real quick
Work smarter not harder ! Great job

Thanks man, I tried just using the floor jack but I wound up a quart and a half of gear oil on the shop floor so I made the cradle and it worked perfectly

you should drain the oil out before?
