An adapter composed of front and rear brackets adjustably mounted on a jack pad has an arcuate recess receiving and supporting the rear flange of a transmission or differential housing and a front bracket with an adjustable plate carrying opposed horizontal straps to be bolted to the front end of the differential or transmission housing and recessed to surround the front end. Bolts sliding in elongated slots accommodate lateral and longitudinal adjustments of the brackets on the jack pad and elevation of a vertical plate carried by the front bracket. A feature of the invention is the rigid mounting support provided for the opposed horizontal straps which prevents shifting of the cradled housing and permits all repair work to be accomplished while a transmission or differential is fixedly supported on the jack.

1. An adapter for use with a low level jack having a support pad with slots in the front and rear ends thereof to cradle and support vehicle transmissions and differentials during removal from the vehicle, repair away from the vehicle, and reinstallation on the vehicle which comprises a rear angle bracket having an upstanding leg with an open top recess for embracing the rear end of a transmission or differential housing and a horizontal leg for resting on the rear end of the pad, a front angle bracket having a vertically slotted upstanding leg and a horizontal leg for resting on the front end of the pad, fasteners extending through the slots of the pad and through the horizontal legs of the angle brackets to selectively position and secure the brackets on the pad, an upstanding plate slidable on the upstanding leg of the front bracket having an open top recess for receiving the front end of a transmission or differential housing, fasteners extending through the slots of the upstanding leg of the front bracket securing the plate to the bracket and accommodating raising and lowering of the plate, said plate having a horizontal slot on each side of the recess adjacent the top of the plate, a rigid horizontal strap overlying each horizontal slot of the plate on each side of the recess, each strap having an apertured inner end for projecting into said recess adapted to receive bolts secured in the front end of the transmission or differential housing, a pair of fasteners extending through each horizontal slot of the plate and through the overlying strap locking said strap on said upstanding plate, said rear bracket being shiftable laterally of said pad, said front bracket being shiftable transversely and laterally of said pad whereby the jack pad can be lifted adjacent the differential or transmission and the brackets thereon shifted to receive the front and rear ends of the transmission or differential housing in the recesses thereof, the straps adjusted to receive bolts from the front end of the housing in the apertured ends thereof and then fixedly secured to the upstanding plate in horizontal position, the housing uncoupled from the vehicle, the jack lowered with the housing thereon to clear the vehicle for transport to a work station to present a transmission or differential to a worker for servicing and the jack replaced under the vehicle to present the housing in position for reinstallation. 2. The adapter of claim 1 including a ball and socket joint connecting the support pad to the jack and means adjusting the attitude of the pad relative to the jack. 3. The adapter of claim 1, wherein the support pad is tiltably mounted on the jack and leveling studs control the attitude of the pad relative to the jack. 4. The adapater of claim 1, wherein the fasteners extending through the slots of the upstanding leg of the front bracket are threaded into tapped holes of the plate. 5. The adapter of claim 1, wherein the open top recess of the rear angle bracket has a thick edge for supporting the periphery of the rear flange of a differential housing. 6. The adapter of claim 5, wherein the jack pad has elongated slots receiving the fasteners. 7. An adapter for mounting on a jack pad to cradle support a vehicle differential or transmission during removel from the vehicle, during repair away from the vehicle, and during reinstallation on the vehicle which comprises front and rear angle brackets having horizontal and vertical legs, fasteners adjustably securing the horizontal legs of the brackets to the jack pad, said vertical leg of the rear bracket having an open top recess shaped to cradle support the rear end of a differential or transmission housing, a vertical plate slidable on the vertical leg of the front bracket having an open top central recess adapted to be aligned with the front end of the differential or transmission housing when the rear end of the housing is cradle supported in the open top recess of the rear bracket, rigid straps slidable endwise on a face of said plate on opposite sides of the central recess to project inwardly beyond said sides of the recess, means holding the straps against swinging on the plate when sliding endwise, the inner ends of said straps being adapted to receive bolts secured in the front end of the differential or transmission housing, means tightening said straps against sliding on the plate, fasteners adjustably securing the plate to the vertical leg of the front bracket, and means for mounting the jack pad on a jack. 8. The adapter of claim 7, wherein the jack pad has a ball and socket connection with the jack. 9. An adapter for cradle supporting a vehicle differential housing or the like on a wheeled jack having a plate adapted to be positioned under the differential housing on the vehicle for supporting the housing during removal from the vehicle, during repair of the differential away from the vehicle, and during reinstallation of the housing on the vehicle, said adapter comprising a pad swivelly mounted on said jack plate, means adjusting the attitude of the pad relative to the plate, a pair of angle brackets having horizontal legs adjustably mounted on the pad and upwardly extending vertical legs, the vertical legs of one of said brackets having a central recess adapted to receive and support one end of the differential housing, a vertical plate slidably on the vertical leg of the other bracket, fasteners adjustably securing the plate at a selected height on said vertical leg, said plate having a central recess, diametrically opposite straps slidable endwise on said plate on opposite sides of said recess and adapted to project inwardly beyond said sides, said straps having bolt holes at their inner ends adapted to receive bolts secured in the front end of the differential housing, means holding said straps against swinging on said plate, and means fixedly securing said straps to said plate on opposite sides of the front end of the differential housing. 10. The adapter of claim 9, including pairs of fasteners holding the horizontal legs of the brackets across the jack pad. 11. An adapter for mounting on a jack pad to cradle support a vehicle differential or transmission which comprises front and rear angle brackets having horizontal and vertical legs, fasteners adjustably securing the horizontal legs of the brackets to the jack pad, an open top recess in the vertical leg of the rear bracket shaped to cradle support the rear end of a differential or transmission housing, a vertical plate slidable on the vertical leg on the front bracket having an open top central recess adapted to receive the front end of the differential or transmission housing, horizontal straps slidable on the plate to project into the central recess, fasteners including washer bars and bolts holding the straps against swinging movement relative to the plate for securing the straps in horizontal position on the plate, the inner ends of said straps being adapted to receive bolts securing in the front end of the differential or transmission housing, fasteners adjustably securing said plate to the vertical leg of said front bracket, and means for mounting said pad on a jack.
