Hello everyone.
I built this stand out of re-purposed junk.
Can you name all 6 re-purposed items?

I see what is likely a flywheel on the bottom, and a 4" (?) hole saw holding the copper-ish tank. Looks like a gas cap at the top, and possibly the tank is from a coleman stove along with the brass valve.

I have an engine test stand that I use with it. I didnt mount the tank directly to the engine stand because I wasnt comfortable with shaking up a tank of gas.
You guys have guessed 3 of the 6 items correctly. I will give you number 6 because will nobody will guess it. The tubing is a re-purposed bicycle stand.
Gas cap -correct
Hole saw -correct
Coleman camp stove fuel tank- correct. |

The hub cap at the bottom is obvious, do we count that?

| I don't get it. Is it just a small gas tank for an engine run stand? |

The tubing is from Grandma's Oxygen tank- now she can't stray much past the sofa.

Torque converter? It looks like it has the angled mounting tabs like an autostick TC but maybe that's something else

Cdennisq is correct.
The bottom base is a 2007 ford ranger brake rotor.
