I cant stand mumblers !!! And why not just spin it around?im assuming u dont do well with the grandkids shape toys...u know what im sayin??? Look at your stands.. turn the red one around and bring it inti the shape made for it.. very easy to have a swivel or a leveler with a swivel...if u cabt figure that out i wouldnt want ya workin on my engine

I am pissed I bought this same engine stand. What a load of crap to have to do it like this to get it to work. And of course it’s too much work to try to put it in the box and take it back, so now I’m a stuck with it. Should have researched more and bought the geared Sunex.

What are all those medals for, in the background?

Remove the hoist wheels (as they are bigger than the stand). Remove the wheels, bush them by enough so the stand arms can roll under the hoist arms. Might take a little welding, but then you can easily transfer engine from hoist to stand.

Great video but all you have to do is put the motor stand in backwards and it fits perfectly lol

i’m so what in the sholders

Just did mine on my ML63 today. This vid was very helpful! 🍻

Yeah...I don't think so!

After dropping motor(dented pan beyond repair) I removed the wheels from stand. Very frustrating!!

whoah big power <3

Why don't you just turn your engine stand around

👎 and bailed 39 seconds in. Dude. If you're gonna post a video that's under 2 minutes long and it is unlistenable, don't post it until you redo it. Unbelievable.

Lol... Just turn the stand around and back it into the lift. Then lower the motor into it. Works like a charm without all the other bs.

At 5:12 with the legs of the stand cupped, all you had to do was remove the pins on the hoist and as you pull back on the stand the hoist legs would be pulled out and fold down. done.

Pulley and lever reduction. Agreed it's still heavy, but a small fraction of 500.

I have used a different method but this is nicer🔥🔥🔥

Looking strong Andy!

For those in the comments suggesting "cupping" the hoist and stand, by spinning the engine 180 degrees, I suggest you throw a tape measure on the rear of the stand crossmember. Do the same between the hoist legs, and let me know what you come up with. My set up (same hoist, different jack stand) wouldn't work with your suggested "cupping", nor, does it appear, would it for Ozark Mountain - the hoist legs are not wide enough for the rear end of the stand. He suggests a work around that worked for him - which is WAAAAY more stable than what I did when presented with the same problem. Nice job Ozark Mountain! Wish I would have found this a few days ago. At least I now have a way to get the engine back onto the hoist!

Why not use an engine tilting jig spin the engine 360% set it down between the lift legs and unhook the engine and roll it out.

Same exact set up. Same exact problem

*caution if you are new to this* < < V eng stand to V eng hoist. Take the Red Engine Stand and turn it around backwards. Put it behind the Engine and wheel it strait out. Please don’t do what is being shown in this video. You could get hurt or tip your heavy engine over and damage it.

Innovative with a fair note of caution as it should be trying to use these equipment.

Keep working hard Billy 💪 good job!

Good job billy keep grinding brother!

Terrible design flaw

What we have to deal with when people design stuff that they have never used and never will. I refuse to buy this garbage. Welder and some steel and I’ll build my own.

Instead of letting it down on the legs, why not just spin the whole thing 180 degrees, let it down and wheel it out? Am I missing something?

Lift stand & engine , spin 180 degrees & lower down. Then disconnect chain & roll engine stand away.

Gay

Can't ever sleep on a man who shoulder presses 300lb in jeans in his home gym

Just turn the engine stand around in mid air to face the opposite way once the engine is attached to it, easy peasy.

That's big weight, but your arm is nearly verticle. With such a steep angle, it doesnt qualify as a pronation lift. It's not an accurate lift for arm wrestling at all...forget the ego lifting, it's just a recipe for injury

I have run into the same problem. I don't know why most hoist need to be in that V configuration. They may save space but they are limited in their use compared to a hoist in the H configuration. And they H shaped hoist are expensive!

Awesome video boss

Tthanks I won't use that method very dangerous

That was really helpful, thank you sir for sharing. Cheers from Saudi Arabia 👋.

good luck

You look great for 60. I'm turning 50 this year and can do 270 lbs so far on shoulder press. I'll be on your level soon enough!

Can you do it with real dumbells

This makes think about adding pronation and supination drills in with the wrist curls I have done in table time🙂

🤦🏼‍♂️ what in the actual f#%k ?!

Damn, old man stengf is real!

Very creative. Probably good for arm wrestling. Maybe that is why you are doing it lol

interesting little gadget there..good job

Mine is 144.3 lbs man you are a beast ❤️

Very good

I could do that.

SUPER NICE job on the 360 then KILLER on the 400..LEGIT!

1:32 could NOT have been a worse time for that to happen lol
