i started a thread about mine in the Kryptonite section, guess I can put it up here also.
I went as cheap as I could with mine. All told I have $78 in it, not counting the welder of course. Bought the cheapest engine stand that harbor frieght had in stock, a square tongue jack from HF, and some 1x1 1/2" square steel tubing. used the measurements that someone else posted in this thread. Took a total of about 2 hours to completely assemble. I welded the fork on mine at a slight reaward angle, so when the weight of the drive is on it, it is just about level. The whole upper assembly is removable by pulling a pin out.
I am considering putting pneumatic wheels on it, but right now, it works perfectly.
If you have never used a stand to R/R a drive, I owuld highly recommend it. I can install my drive with the ITS shaft in under 5 minutes, and that is including the time it takes to tighten all six nuts. It is fantastic.

Thanks TF! Like I have said before, I put things together like this to make my life easier. It isn't perfect, but it works great. I have loaned mine out a bunch......
Philm - I have about the same $$$ in mine.

I've been trying to duplicate the Yardarm for a while. I made a drive stand like the everyone else, but my problem has always been getting the correct horizontal & vertical alignment of the drive to slide it in. So I tore down the old drive stand and created a new one from a transmission jack. This give me a 3 dimension adjustment so I can just slide it back in with now issues. Cost: $140.00
