History Manzel Flathead Engine Stand (KR Wilson Like)

My dad and I picked up a Manzel (made in Buffalo NY) flathead engine stand. Similar to KR Wilson, but cast from Aluminum or Magnesium (something light).

It is missing the lever latch that locks it when you rotate the engine. Does anyone have one of these stands? Or a catalog? I'd like to see a picture of the part I need to make.

Any other history on Manzel would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Neal

 

Here's some pics of the stand...





Anybody with info? Bruce?

Thanks,

The 1954 manzel tool catalog shows a picture of your engine stand. I don't have a scanner working to send you a picture. My 1958 and 1960 manzel catalogs show a different style engine stand made out of tubing, so yours must be an earlier one. Good find. Old tools are as much fun as old cars.

I have a complete Manzel Buffalo stand like the one you pictured. If you haven't had
any luck with the locking lever, contact me.

I have the Manzel 6005 bracket...

 

Anybody know what the MANZEL 6005CF attachment is for?

 

I also have a flathead ford attachment

 

I do still need a locking lever if anyone is holding one, or at least some good pictures so I can duplicate.

 

The pic in the lower left may help. Says that it’s spring loaded.

 

I'm still looking for the flathead 6005 G bracket for my Manzel engine stand. Pete, is yours for sale??
