Good work!!
FWIW, I read the negative reviews from whiners on what appears to be the same product. They complained about poor boxing and open bags/missing fasteners and steel shot (blasting abrasive) in the box, etc. Sounds like the shot was in the casters and they didn’t work right.
In my experience:
The boxing could have been better. But it all appears to have made it here. It’s HEAVY so really needs to be almost bulletproof. UPS lady couldn’t get it out of the truck herself so my MOM helped her......
Open bags and fasteners scattered all over. We’ll see if they’re all there upon assembly....
Casters all spun freely. It feels like 3lbs of steel shot in the box!
Jarrett, that is a good idea too. I had not even thought about bringing the engine in/over the stand in order to mount it to the stand.
A swiveling link on the leveler might be useful when bolting the engine to the stand, as the stand to crane V base nesting orientation is 180 degrees opposed from the engine yank orientation, and there will be windup strain in the links past 90.
One thing I will say is it is very efficient. Materials are minimal and design is adequate. It packs into a small box for shipping. I’m a little surprised they don’t manage and recover the steel shot better, because one of the reasons to use that abrasive is because you can recycle/reuse it. But, I’m sure they’ve figured out how much it costs to recover just a little more vs let it go and buy more.
It works! I can rotate it pretty easily, but haven’t tried to go upside down yet. Gotta put some paint on the stuff that is degreased and ready to paint first!
