That's my other concern. I don't want the headache of trying to get the engine from the ATV jack to the stand. Unless it's like you say. I have the red Craftsman ATV jack. It max's out at 16 1/2" I think. Is that enough height to get it onto the stand?

I guess if I go that route and get a stand but no yoke, then I would have to remove the flywheel and replace the rear flywheel seal prior to putting it on the stand. Correct? I thought I read that it wasn't good to put the engine on the stand using the universal mount. I thought it put stresses on the engine case. Is that incorrrect?
