I bought an anvil from Harbor Fright that I liked. But I guess it's hard to
screw up an anvil!

Funny story...I came home one day years ago with 4 new Lincoln (The welder
company) jack stands.
My wife said...oh my god, how much did they cost?
I said over a hundred dollars a piece.
She said you spent over $400.00 on those?

I pull the sprint toward the back of the truck and start looking for a small

return spring.

the frame? and to
the clutch linkage rod where it hooks to the main clutch

If you have an older, Quality made stand from back in the days when they were
built for Quality, not quantity...then that is the only way I would use a 3

I have a good 3 legged stand, and have had no trouble with it. It's an older
