A stackable, knockdown shipping stand for a lawn and garden tractor includes a flat, boxlike injection molded polystyrene pallet forming a base of the stand and having a four post framework removably mounted thereon with the posts being received in stake pockets formed in the upper surface of the pallet adjacent its corners. Storage recesses are provided in the upper surface of the pallet for receiving the framework when the latter is dismantled and in the lower surface of the pallet for receiving an exposed portion of a framework located in a lower pallet when knocked-down stands are being stacked one atop another. The upper surface of the pallet, in a preferred embodiment, includes wheel wells for receiving the wheels of a tractor being shipped and a gauge roller receptacle for receiving the gauge roller of a rotary mower deck being shipped.
