<VV> Drive train fixture for floor jack

[Daniel Monasterio]

Hi Dave,

   A cheap guy (me) made this craddle with leftovers and a wire welder. It installs instead of the support disk on the floor jack. I made too, a rolling dolly to pass the powertrain from the jack (after removal) and move it around the shop easily. If need more details, just tell me.
