You know, it's a great idea, but I should have made my own. The open side for jack clearance is great. However...with a thermostat installed, the bottom of the case won't quite fit between the rails of the dolly. It ends up resting on the sheet metal thermostat bracket, and also the oil filter (not that big a deal really). If it were 1/4" wider, it would be fine. I currently have a motor with no thermostat, tin, ignition or induction sittiing on it. It's OK for that.
Edit: If I built my own I would also use casters with bigger wheels to make rolling over concrete expansion cracks easier. Harbor Freight sells furniture dollys for $16.00 (with bigger wheels). My fully dressed 2.0 is now resting comfortably (and stable) on one of those. This post has been edited by Gint: Mar 12 2007, 11:34 AM |
