I am jealous of the geared head.
Good info on the 4 legs tipping still. My other stand is a 4 leg but there's engine on it so I grabbed the tri foot.
So I specifically searched for a geared head because it was during the tipping back up that it happened. I'm sure since I had to help it, between the lever and myself lifting up on the top of the engine thats what cause the leg to roll out from underneath. The geared head should be far far far more controllable and one handed! I hope I never need it but we both know thats not true
.
The 3 legged stand has been demotex to vw engine stand only!
So the 1 wire 30 amp alt was built by motor city reman in Michigan. I am having the new built them as well in hopes it runs as flawless as the crushed one. Do I need 130 amps?? No, not really but its nice to know its there if I need it. The alt was cheaper them the Bosch boost control solenoid.... by a few dollars.
