Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / July 2008Contraptions..
About a year ago my buddy was rummaging in my scrap pile while I was busy under a car and asked me "is this thing scrap, can I cut it up? It was on the scrap pile"... Not really looking, I said go ahead.. After all, it was on the "pile".. It was a funny looking cradle I had for pulling bell housings without yanking the engines...supported the rear of the engine and straddled the frame... Had to make another one yesterday...had a GOOD welder do it for me and it sure looked pretty but didn't work quite like the old ugly one....but it worked... Moral of the story...LOOK before you "leap"...and be careful where you leave stuff!! Studebaker George I make 'em by placing a correctly cut 1x4 across the frame with two uprights to intersect near the rear of the oil pan. Works like a charm and costs nothin' since I use scrap wood.

Adjustable up and down. The old one was a strange looking thing with a rod that slid across and then had a couple cobbled up "posts" that went up to the block... They both work. Saving time? Maybe...but still a dirty job..
