Notice that Aldi supermarkets are selling engines stands for about $80. Are they worth it?
Would these hold a 1098?

This was a special about 3-4 months ago. They sold poorly at the Aldi i work at so were sent elsewhere. Im assuming the stands you see at your Aldi are some leftovers.

Is it this model?:

Not sure about this or not but I dont think you can put an A series on it. Its
made for North-South engines with the gearbox mounted on the back.

The stand looks OK but you would need to have a mini engine mounting plate made up like I did for my Repco engine stand.

My greatest fear in life is that when I die my wife will sell my Mini and tools for the price I told her I paid for them!

In Aldi at Chermside tonight - they had one reduced to $69
