Hello everyone. I hope everyone is healthy.

For Sale:Packard Exclusive K.R. Wilson All-Position Engine Stand (No. 838)

KR Wilson made a more heavy duty engine stand for larger engines like Packard engines. The upright has larger and thicker ribs as well as the adapter housing.

Included:
1. Original cast iron base with wheels
2. Original exclusive upright
3. Original adapter (No. 322)
4. Notch plate (homemade)
5. Adapter wing nut

Everything has been cleaned, primed, and painted in original KR Wilson red. This engine stand came straight from a Packard dealership.

This is the 1st No. 838 engine stand that I have ever seen in the years of collecting KR Wilson parts! Would be great to display that extra engine or use it to rebuild it!

$2600
Shipping available for additional cost. (Had to cancel Hershey trip due to illness in family.)

Pictures coming soon.

definitely want to see pictures.

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay on the pictures. As stated before there was sickness in the family.

I included some pictures from a KR Wilson Catalog showing how this engine stand is different than the usual ones that you see.

I am located in central Ohio. Delivery may be available for extra cost.

Take care and please let me know if you have any questions.

I've used one of those and they are nice. The one I used also had the adapter for the Ultramatic which included the little parts tray. Of course the cost needs to be amortized over the number of uses and if a shop has already spent the money on similar use modern equipment, well ....

However, I have seen pictures of how some of the most highly regarded shops were doing motors and was shocked. I even took one picture into our machine shop where we all got a good laugh. The scene was ghetto.
