prondzy 3,867 #1 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) I posted the other day in the xmas gifts thread that i got a lift table. I knew it needed modifications to hold a tractor and i couldn't just put a slab of plywood on it because i still need to use it for my motorcycle. I had a plan figured out but was going to need sheet metal bent to make rails for the tires to go onto while leaving the center open for my motorcycle when needed. I went to the scrap metal yard with @Shynon to pick up metal for the rail supports, while digging through the rack i found aluminum bleacher seats! Score! They were 15ft long and 10 in wide this is perfect, best part is the bleachers were already RED! So we took some bleachers home and started cutting, i have been fabricating all day and this is as far as i got today, had to extend the pedals too. I still need to make a steel lip for the ends of the rails so they dont get wrecked when mower decks hit the edge, and make a front tire vise for my motorcycle.

Shynon 7,435 #2 Posted January 1, 2019 Tractor is on mine. Sure is nice not to have to lay on the floor. I'm getting too old for that. 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #3 Posted January 1, 2019 @prondzy Very nice/clean modification. I have the same lift and have been thinking how I wanted to widened it. I wonder if any of the 4 county school districts would miss 15' of football stadium bleacher seat? 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
