Trying to get to 20 units for the best discount. Currently at 11 sold (4/17/14)
$158 plus shipping. Appears to be a high quality item. I asked the vender to extend the deadline so I could spread the word to my 914 World bretheren, and he agreed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Not sure for how long though. I have mine ordered already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) No, you can't borrow it.

QUOTE(toolguy @ Apr 17 2014, 06:37 PM)  I bought one of these ones 8 years ago and while it does "work" it's got some big design flaws. 1. The 3 bars are too short to allow you to remove/install the flywheel or clutch assembly with the engine on the stand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) 2. The ring that the engine mounts to interferes with the engine tin s on the 3/4 side (which annoyingly happens to be the side that you mount to the stand to build the long block). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Both of these force you to remove the engine from the stand. Not a big deal if you have a lift making it a snap to remove/install a motor from a stand. But, if you don't and you have to say beg your wife to help you lift it just once, it will likely cost you more than the price difference in "wining & dining" and otherwise making up for causing her to strain herself lifting the engine. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) Just buy the good one the first time. . . |
