I found this test stand on the bay.  HH%%  It is hell built for stout.  y1  Very nice workmenship...

Edit.... I found the seller's e-mail, skengineering@netzero.net.
He also builds some very nice compression gauges. I have no idea if he's still in business......  H^^

I liked my old maple EZ Just one, but it got left outside and rotted a little. The second one is the one I have, it works just fine.

Re: Richard's post.  I bought the one in the first attachment about 18 months ago.  As I recall, the one in the second attachment wasn't listed.  Mine works fine.  I replaced the machine bolts that secure the motor mounting blocks with carriage bolts, because it was hard to get to the heads to keep them from turning when tightening the bolts.  I also replaced the sheetmetal screws with bolts.  The one in the second attachment looks like it is more user friendly than the first.  FWIW          Glen

One thing to consider is that if you sometimes use smaller engines, you will have to break them in without a muffler if you have a test stand with the bolts facing up (esp. with wingnuts).

I thought my old test stand was an E-Z Just, but upon checking I can faintly see "Perfect" on it. Did Perfect make the E-Z Just stands? This ancient one is from the fifties.

The one I use for larger engines is from about 10 years ago, also wood (came in a kit) but I can't remember the brand name. The brand name does not appear on the stand, just on the assembly instructions.
