Not sure about these particular jacks but I use hockey pucks for all my jacks and the lift. Real (cheap) pucks, not the high priced automobile ones with the hang tabs on them.

krcobra, you can buy direct from Mohawk. they have a list of local installers and will ship to you or the installer - your choice. I had my 10k 2 post lift shipped to installer.

We had power company run separate line / meter to shop. then we ran lines from shop to horse barn. we are now running lines from house to hay barn and from barn to cattle pens. Wife wants power for post lights at entrance from road (driveway is almost 700 ft) and for possibly lighting a small...

I have 3 Morton buildings here in Bushnell Florida. Call Morton in Gainesville and speak to Paul. If he doesn't handle south Florida, he will get you hooked up with the rep for your area. Great company - no problems with any of our buildings. matching 42 x 60 shop, 24 x 36 (6 stall horse...

Looking at buying a combo sheer / brake / roll machine. Primary use will be 20 ga fabrication work on cars - under hood, trunk, interior etc. Any recommendations on a 30 or 40 inch tool? thanks

Assembly starts today on our 3rd Morton building. First was a 42x60 with a corner porch. We use it as a farm / auto shop with Mohawk lift. Second was a 24 x 36 6 stall horse barn. Today's bldg is a 42 x 40 hay barn. As this one replaces an old wooden barn that was filled with round rolls...

Thanks for the replies. I'm having a bit of trouble with my camera but will get some pics posted late today or tomorrow. Not looking to trade as I ordered a 28 foot gn with tandem duals. Lately we are doing way more hay work than taking cars to the track.

Should have mentioned this in my earlier post regarding my Mohawk System 1 - i use hockey pucks to augment the supplied risers, pads if needed. Real hockey pucks, not the pricey ones sold in speciality catalogs.

Mohawk System 1 10K. works like a champ on everything from the corvette to cc dually.

Thanks 2MT and MR for the info and suggestions. I don't really need vapor tight units in the shop. I'll take a closer look at the newer tube fixtures. I keep the horse feed in a corner of the shop and I'm not sure who is more annoyed waiting for enough tubes to come on so I can find the feed...
