I just used an engine stand, and then made an adapter to mount to the P.T.O. cover bolt holes. There is a pic in my garage.

It looks like you only used 4 bolts to hold the trans is that correct.

That is correct. I wanted to use all six, but I didn't have enough steel in my scrap pile to make a bigger mounting flange. Four bolts did the job well- I have had a complete Alli with the converter installed on the stand for about 8 months now. Its not on the floor yet. Hahaha
