    Thanks for this. Picked my parts up yesterday. Went to a local business who overhauls semi-truck rear ends. For warranty purposes, When they do a rebuild for retail. They automatically replace these two components with new parts. The used go into the metal recycling bin. They were great and gave them to me free. Dropped the shaft off at a friends shop where it will get a thorough cleaning. He’s going to put it in his lathe, cut off the knuckle and true up the shaft for the pillow bearing. I’m going to use it as the rotating gear on a stand that will have a grinder at the top and a grinder on the bottom. This gives me the ability to grind and polish with 4 different stones and buffers. I’ll position it in my shop to give me easy access to the adjuster. Again, thanks for the inspiration.

    Very cool ! Had no idea the parts you used even existed - price is surprisingly affordable, even today, 2 years later with all the f'ed up inflation that's gone on.

      @johnsilvey3208 Good to hear! They're all fairly common parts. Hopefully, they will continue to stay affordable.

    I just made your stand after losing my finger nail in a standard stand when the handle hit the brace. Your stand works great!

    I like the gearing method. Neat. Though an impact is a bad idea for any gears, much better to use a drill. Ive destroyed gears in jacks and other tools with impacts. I learned the hard way.

    • @RockyMountainExtreme
      @RockyMountainExtreme  ปีที่แล้ว

      Good point! I have a speed handle that I typically use, it gives me more control. I used the impact because it was handy, but not ideal for sure. Thanks for the comment!

    • @RockyMountainExtreme

      Nice! Yeah, as long as the cam shaft and slack adjuster have a matching spline count, you're good to go!

    Thanks for sharing this. I'm building a stand based on what you did here. What are the dimensions of the plate you mounted the pillow block bearings are mounted to?

    • @RockyMountainExtreme
      @RockyMountainExtreme  ปีที่แล้ว

      Mine is 7" x 6", just keep an eye on the length of the S-Cam shaft length and the width of the pillow blocks and build around those measurements.

    Seems like a great idea. The additions also seem to be heftier than the original stand. How is this working 11 months later?

    • @RockyMountainExtreme
      @RockyMountainExtreme  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's working great, 3 different engines on it and a transmission. Each one was handy to roll over to work on. There's currently a 350 block mounted up, getting ready to build.

    Would it be better with a 28 spline? Would it turn slower? What pros or cons could i anticipate with it? Oh my. I am thankful to come across your video!! 🙌

    • @RockyMountainExtreme
      @RockyMountainExtreme  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't matter, long as the S cam shaft and slack adjuster are the same spline count. That won't change the rotating speed. I used my rotating engine stand today with a speed wrench and it was so handy!

    Does it need a positive stop to keep the engine from turning while working on it?

    • @RockyMountainExtreme
      @RockyMountainExtreme  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, but it does have a slight amount of play in it back & forth. It hasn't been an issue, I've torqued down head bolts, etc with the play and it's been fine.

    The cost of parts and time just buy a geared engine stand. They are like 350 buck.

      Nah, I'd rather build it... its just an option, but I'm into mine for way less than $350.

      If you already have one this is a 75$ modification.

    • @BusterChestnuts
      @BusterChestnuts ปีที่แล้ว

      The $350 premade stands are also of a significantly lower quality, generally. For less than $200, this can be fabricated and will last beyond the “cheap” prefabbed units
