Momma got me a great birthday present
Been looking for 6/7 months for some sort of lift for my garage. Lost out on a couple, tried to mod a HF model but took it back. Then I saw another on CL yesterday. Sent email, got answer but seller didn't give phone or address. Tried again today and included my phone. Went out to dig out truck and wife comes to the door saying guy on the phone. Turns out he's about 5 mile down the rd and says he's been swamped with emails, mine was the first, and since I gave him a number he called me. Momma told me to get my butt down there and don't come home without it. Says its my birthday present from her. (I hit the big 70 today) I come back she says where is it. I tell her the guy is gonna bring it down for me in half an hour after I make some room. I call and here it is. 53" X 68", runs by air compressor, raises to 30 inches. Weight about 600 /700 lbs. A 2 ton scissor lift.($500 delivered) My FEL couldn't lift the end but would drag it off the trailer.
Wow, and all I got her for her birthday was ear rings and a sweater. But at least now I can finally start on mu Originals and 100 as well as the other 8 or 9 tractors I have been saying I would work on in my retirement. No more trying to get off the garage floor. MikeC

Congratulations on your B'day present!!
@ our age we need all the help we can get,getting "things" up  Make sure the safety system works properly, so it don't drop unexpectedly. Those are nice to put things @ a comfortable working height. When I get down on all 4's, I think, is there anything else I can do while I'm down here? Ha,LOL The old knees down't like a lot of bending.

Yes, I think this will make life a lot easier. It does have the safety system that inch square bars on each side that land in one of several stops that can set the height. There is is 1/4 inch line that goes to a small cylinder that (I think) is suppose to retract them when foot pedal is released to lower lift. But it doesn't seem to do anything. I can release them with a push stick (not reaching under this when its operating). Will have to check this out. As you can see from the label, which I an going to heat in an attempt to straighten, I am trying to find the company and possibly a manual. Googled LIFT but didn't find.
Will send photo of cylinder setup, but once again the white stuff is falling, so want to get this up on pipes and roll under cover. Then I'll start to ck this over and see what else it needs. MikeC

dbuck,
Like I said re the HF bike lift, I tried to figure a good way to put side rails on it but braces and suck kept getting in the way. Plus at 1000 lb, didn't want to loose any of that by adding more to the base. I have a big old Case 444 that would really push the limit. Heck now I have 4000 lbs to play with. Diz Jr, Thanks, yeah I sure was happy to get this. It takes me forever to get up off the floor after I do an oil change on the truck using a creeper. raytasch, Yup, she's a keeper. Coming up on 45 years together. Jumper, Howells is in Orange County, about 70 miles NW of NYC and 32 miles W of the US Military Academy at West Point. As far as the snow, it lines the edges of the driveway as far as the blower would put it. About 3 ft on the lawns. Know that's not much by Buffalo standards and we don't have any lake effect, but its still a pain. The blacktop driveway stays clear as long as I keep the white stuff away. So far today we've got about 6" and its still coming down. finruskw, Hadn't thought about loading on a truck, good idea, but fortunately I have several trailers and ramps to haul all my stuff around. BTW, if anyone has any info on the company shown on the label, LIFT, appreciate a heads-up. Thinking, from what I see on the label, that its a European company, possibly German? Google didn't help, but have to search some more. I wonder if they were combine with a bigger outfit under a different name. MikeC

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
