What is this?

Recommended Posts

I purchased a tractor last year and the owner gave me this with my purchase. I do not what it is, possibly a jack? Is this something Wheel Horse sold or is it homemade? Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Donnie

Definitely not :wh: and probably homemade. Clever looking tool though. If I were going to use it, it would be as a quick leverage jack for a quick scraping of a mower deck.

Looks like it would work similar to this product.

It's a lifter of some sort, I'm sure you can find something to lift with it.  :handgestures-thumbsup:

The fork does rotate, I guess for positioning.

They use something just like that to move trailers, boats and airplanes around on flat floors, to move & backup objects into tight places.

Raise the long handle up and the 'fork' lowers to get under the tractor, then lowering the long handle gives you leverage to lift the heavy

objects, and pushing it gives you tight control to move the tractor.  

For trailers and boats, you have a hitch Ball in place of your fork to lock onto.   

Only caution is to always keep the long moving lever down and hang on to it, it wants to pivot up, with force.
