QUOTE(AZBanks @ Nov 19 2020, 09:58 PM)  TEP on floor jack. ROCK Solid! That’s nice work @AZBanks . My craftsman jack had a similar horizontal pin that would not allow the TEF to sit down in the hole. I removed the pin and got a couple of carefully measured bolts to us in its place. That was a tip from Chris at Tangerine. |

Most new floors jacks including all the Harbor Freight ones do not have a hole big enough to accomodate the Tangerine Plate bottom bar. |

Most new floors jacks including all the Harbor Freight ones do not have a hole big enough to accomodate the Tangerine Plate bottom bar. @Stltri , I'm using a Craftsman 2-ton model 50239 - aluminum and fairly low profile. Perfect for the 914 but a little lite for my 4x4. Pictured also are the bolts I'm using in place of the pin for the Tangerine plate - 9/16 12-1 1/2G8 I believe with a nylon washer, but check. Could not get a nut on the back side so I hammered the threads flat on the upper portion so they would not move with weight on them. Worked fine. Attached image(s)

Looks like a discontinued Craftsman model, not sure which ones will accomodate the bottom bar, which I have on my Tangerine plate. Like Chris said, the newer version does not have the bottom bar but instead can be bolted on most newer floor jacks. |
