QUOTE(carr914 @ Feb 8 2015, 12:48 PM)  Take it to Scotty & have him Paint it! Nice Score! Yes, it's ugly. I'm glad it gets hidden under the car. My wife had thought I was buying a 2 post lift. She was very relieved when she saw my purchase. I have a commercial powdercoat shop nearby. They are super reasonable but it will be a while before I lug that hunk of metal back onto a trailer. My mechanic offered to drop off the suby engine but I had no way of dropping it from his pick up truck. Now i'm thinking a couple layers of plywood and use it as a lift table. |

Awesome find Mark! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Crawling under cars is becoming less fun as I get older. A setup like this may make a fine addition to my low-ceiling garage. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) awesome buy, I really need something like that for the 914. Also would b great for the 4 runner, like making it easy for wheel rotation. Sure can do a lot if I only had one. Can't afford one at the moment, workman's comp case going on for 2 yrs now. No money coming in. My lawyer is working on the case, cause there trying to screw me. Long story, and I don't want to bore u all. But when I get back in the groove, I'll b searching for one.

My old compressor crapped out so over to HF for a new one. $100 on sale.
Takes a couple minutes to lift but what a difference from jacking by hand. I didn't go full height but you all get the idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

I have one of those in my shop. I have changed the engine on my 300 TE 4 Matic wagon with it, changed brakes on a Tahoe, replaced the floor pans and rear sub rails on a 1971 Mustang. Very we'll built and sturdy. If I sell my business, it is one of the tools that I would keep.

I was getting some leakage and loosing about an inch an hour and then I saw the puddle. Time to get the cylinder rebuilt. I knew it would be sooner or later.
