I just cut a couple of stands to fit the tractor, car or whatever I'm
working on with the chainsaw while I'm cutting firewood. Use a solid enough
piece of timber to make a good stand, and they roll when they are tipped
over on their side so you can put them back in the shed.

The tractor is 3 ton, the dozer shovel is 4 ton, so I choose good thick logs
to cut them from. You could probably find something good to work with and
get it cut to size at your local sawmill, or get some old recycled house
stumps or bridge timbers. Make sure they are wide enough to support the car
with the sideways forces that you will apply with a spanner on tight bolts.

As another poster said, don't use bricks, concrete blocks or similar as they
can crumble and collapse. You do not want to be underneath something heavy
trying to hold it up with the side of your head......

Hope this helps,

Not a good idea to use wood blocking with the grain vertical unless
you are trying to stop horizontal movement.
