wallfish 15,769 #1 Posted September 13, 2011 John, Where are the pictures? I've been wanting to do this for a while now so the recent thread by Stevebo gave me the needed inspiration to "get around to it" I bought the lift from HF for $150 and did some little mods to make it work for me. Added wheels, Added some length to the lift portion, Put on some boards and made little removable ramps. I needed the ramps because the shelf needed to be 36" high to clear the steering wheels of the tractors on the bottom but the max height on the unmodified lift is only 30". Basically just roll'em on the lift, jack'er up and roll'em on the shelf. Just remove the ramps and add a piece of plywood for a work bench / motor stand or jack up another one and put stuff underneath it. Here's the unmodified pic from HF 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,034 #6 Posted September 14, 2011 Now that is the way to get it done. Only question is the floor model grinder you got from me at the show this year still in your van :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,769 #7 Posted September 14, 2011 Yeah, I haven't got around to it. It's only been a couple of months. I was hoping to have a new shed built by now. I wanted that lift table fireman was selling to put down in the floor and make the top of it even with the floor for an easy to use tractor lift. I'll get around to that some day too.
