Sorry, can't take a photo today. Don't know who made the engine stand, might be a Strapponi. My Dad had the engine stand for 30+ years and he has not used it for over 10 years, so it's mine now, he will never rebuild another engine unless it is my place anyway.

The engine stand has three major parts, the rear bar, with two fixed casters on the ends, the horizontal bar bends up 90 degrees to the vertical, and at the top of the vertical is the rotater mount for the rear of the engine, at the other end is a 360 degree swivel caster. The last part is the mount assembly at the top of the vertical upright. Manual operation, no motor to turn the engine and no slick gear set with crank to turn it either. There are four bolts that attach the two bar sections together, isn't hard to figure out how to put it together. You probably have a much nicer and more modern engine stand than I have. I'd be shocked if the thing wasn't 40 or 50 years old.
