KR wilson engine stand

anyone know of a reasonable value of a KR WILSON flathead ford engine stand ?

 

i saw one sell on ebay about 2 years ago for $550. i have no idea if that was a good or high price

 

I saw two at Hershey this year, $1300 each. Of course those were Hershey prices.

 

I was at an auction a few years ago and I stopped bidding at $425. There was flathead block on it, but who knows what kind of condition it was in.

 

one sold on the bay about 6 mos ago 1200....

 

That's neat. "Wilson tools" and "reasonable value" don't often appear together in the same sentance.

 

What make this engine stand so special? Is it a build stand or a run in stand or what?

 

Does anybody have a picture?

fathers day show saw a couple going for $1200.00 - one had an adapter for a fordomatic, the other came with a provision for a rear end.
very nice pieces of hardware, but pricey

 

Nice find!

 

That would help satisfy my sense of curiosity.

 

if wer are talking about the same one, i think i have a pic at home.......i'll check

 

On 02/18/14 I just Purchased 1 of 2 KRW Engine Stand off of EBay From a Nice Guy Named Randy of Synder, Texas. It came From a Closed Ford Tractor Repair Shop in Big Springs,TX. He had Both Stands With 2 Tractor Engine adapters & Bases. The Other Guy was from Indiana, he got the One with the Valve Tray, & One Broken Wheel. I got the one without valve Tray, but a Good Base With Good Wheels! He had them Listed a Year ago & I just Missed them. He told me they were Sold to a Guy in Houston, But the Guy Didn't Follow up with the Purchase. So, I put that Idea into Motion. My Secret was eBay & H.A.M.B. I put it on a Watch List & at 01:14 A.M. I awoke by the alarm to it on EBay! I paid $450.00 & $180.00 in Diesel Fuel, left At 04:00 A.M. Got to synder,Tx. @ 09:00 A.M. Made 3 Stops on the Way. Total Round Trip Traveled was 745 Miles. Speed Limit was 75 MPH, I Drove 80 MPH, No Tickets! Meet a New Friend Named Randy. Saw his Neat Blue 1969 Camaro & 1958 Nash Convertible. Saw 3 Good Vintage Tin Projects From his Shop To location of Krw Stands. 68 Chevy Short Wide Bed, 1950 Chevy Coupe & WWII Jeep with Cab Top. Had a Blast, Gee, Boys & Girls! Don't You Wished You Lived In Texas! ? Moral to the Story, What Goes Around Comes Around, There Still Out There!

 

They were all cast and the adapters for different engines changed out for what you were working on.

 

Here's a NOS ons, in the crate. I think (?) that Dick Spadaro is/was the owner.

I need a base for mine. Traded about $100 worth of Model A parts for it.

 

You're right.............I hate you

 

I found this one in some junk behind Blairs speed shop. It doesn't have an original base or head but I like it just fine because I can picture Don Blair using it in the old days building race engines.

 

Does anyone have the Oil Pan Bracket
That attaches to the Pedalsatl? Or a Pic
Of it? Thanks BigDTexasKid

When I got mine back in the 60's, it had the square base. I threw that away and made a "T" shaped base from 4" channel because it wouldn't fit between the legs of my engine lift. One real plus mine had was a worm gear attachment for cranking the engine over into any position desired. A nice feature.
