cinderblocks are not

Jack stands. They were never designed to be jack stands. This subject came up while looking at the tractor pictures. There is a tractor picture there of a MF being rebuilt and it is sitting on cinder blocks. And if you look at it, the one clearly visible under the rear axle is on end with the axle sitting on it.

Please guys. Don't do this. IF you use cinder blocks to set stuff on at least have them on edge like they were made to be laid AND have 2X8 at least between the cinder block and any steel or driveway rocks. Cinder blocks are strong but when you allow them to be put under pressure at a pressure point they will explode and drop the load. Without warning. I rode an ambulance years ago in a small rural town and there were several people hurt by falling iron or cars. And two fatalities. And, some loved one is usually the ones who find you. Or the grand child that was just playing under or beside it.
