Kent-Moore Engine Stand

[danieldd]

Picked this up yesterday for $60.00. I don't know anything about it other than it looks to be stout and made in the USA. At first, I thought it was a diesel engine stand, but now I'm not sure. I plan to use it on the V12 in my 850i.

Nice!

Oh yeah, that looks beefy baby!

Let us know if you find the ratings for it (load, I mean).

I have one for diesels and it is MUCH beefier than that! That does look like a nice one though.

nice to see a Michigan made engine stand.

Thanks. She's a keeper. Hard for me to find USA made stuff anymore. Can't find much of anything about the engine stand, though. Done a thorough search on Mr. Internet and haven't been able to find any load rating for the engine stand. I'm sure it should easily handle 600lbs without any problem.

Only thing I could remotely find is Kent-Moore equipment was used primarily by OEM dealerships. Beyond that, I have no real information..

That's a good one. A steal at the price.

It's no good, You should give it away before it hurts someone. I'll take it for you, kinda do you a favor.

Kent Moore made most, if not all the GM service tools over the years, at least as far back as I go (45 years). Readily available at GM dealers (Parts) and other outlets as well.

That is way too expensive! You can get a new one for under $4000. I bought one for $800 last year with three engine adapters. Last week I finished my GM adapters so I currently have a 6.5 diesel on it, it turns like butter!

I love that design, very rugged looking. Do you think you could take a few pictures of the arms that bolt to the bell housing? Maybe some pics with one removed so I can see the detail of how it was made. I think I have it figured out, but would like more info. By the way...... YOU ****!
