Agreed 100%
When working on my David Brown 990 tractor we used to support it on 12"x12" timbers, which worked great. For the 300SD I use 6x6 timbers as back up.
Roy posted some good ideas previously in this thread. Do NOT rely on one form of support.
And always wear eye protection. It's amazing how much crud comes off, especially if the car lives in a winter climate with lots of sand or salt on the roads.
