Abstract: A stand (10) selectively positions a transmission case (12) having a wider end portion (14) and a narrower end portion (16). A generally rigid and open frame (18) supports a yoke (48) adjacent its front end. The yoke (48) extends across the frame (18) and has a pair of side bar structures (56,58) to which the wider end portion (14) of the transmission case (12) is attachable. A support structure (86) includes an upwardly extending support crossbar (88) having a support platform (100) and is adapted to support the narrower end portion (16) of the yoke (48). The support structure (86) may be mounted in several different orientations thereby allowing the transmission case (12) to be mounted in several different orientations.
