I responded in the other thread in the main tech forum. The stand in your link should work but I got tired of buying stands that "sorta worked" or "got me by" and went with the Harbor Freight 2000 lb stand. Use the coupon to knock some off (I think it's 20%). It seems the lighter stands don't have the spread on the arms to catch the bottom two bellhousing bolts or the strength to keep the engine from drooping from the weight of the IH engine.

Spend the money to get the correct one. Its not worth the trouble and hazard of a poor quality stand.
