Your home made track stand

[snoluver1]

I remember seeing a picture of a track stand you made out of 2x4. If you get a chance, would you mind posting that pic again. I remember it having a pretty stout base to it, and I would like to copy your handy work.

Thanks!

Did it look something like this??

Lot of miles on this one.

Looks wobbly! I have mounted a similar bracket to the wall of the garage.

Something like that, but John's had a beefy suport at the bottom, tieing the base into the vertical "shaft" if I recall.
Thanks.

OK, here you go.

This one was initially made for the Pol-Cat (94 XLT), so the extra 2x4 blocking on the bottom is to add length to it for the long tracks.

Thanks John!! But now I have more questions than answers-LOL. Is the rope running through the top piece or around the other side? oh forget it--I'll figure something out. The base was what I was really wondering about anyway.
Thanks for your time John!

whats that stuff on your garage floor i see in the pictures? is it some kind of protective mat?

The rope runs through the top piece inside. That was the tricky part to buidling it to fish the rope through. I did it that way so that the top piece would have equal stress on both the front and back and would not break off.

It is a protective mat. There was a thread on the board asking about it. Not sure exactly where it was, perhaps the ask john topic.

Thats what I thought, but the first pic threw me off a little. Kind of looks like the rope is going around and attached to something on the side. Very clever Idea!!

Once again, thanks for your time. I wasn't expecting you to go out and take new pictures and upload, just figured you might be able to direct me to where I saw it originaly or repost it. Your a class act John!
