If the HF lift is functioning I suggest you just use it. The fact that it leaks down over time is not a significant issue (in my opinion) unless it loses pressure is a short period of time, i.e. 5 minutes. These lifts, especially the pneumatic ones, are not designed to be used other than as a...

If you have an old (20+ years) Pro Cycle or Pro-Cycle lift, please reach out to me before buying a seal kit. The seal kit YG09-9180 does not fit some of the very old Pro Cycle or Pro-Cycle lifts. Don't assume that all air lifts use the same kit. Over the years there have been at least...

I am willing to share my experiences and knowledge of seal/parts availability with anyone in advance of them purchasing a lift. Personally, I wouldn't buy a lift without knowing whether a seal kit is available for immediate purchase. I do not sell lifts - only seal kits.

I have a 66" inch lift but only a 10 foot ceiling so all that lifting capacity is unusable. If I did it again I would get a low rise or mid-rise scissor lift. Since I am so limited in lifting height (due to ceiling) I never lift the vehicle more than 20". That means that you can only raise...

There are many models of air operated motorcycle lift tables being sold and in service. Unfortunately, several of the importers no longer have seal kits available for their older lifts. To make matters worse, there are lifts currently being sold with owner's manuals that do not match the...

To close the loop on this thread - that bucket was included in a trip to the scrap iron recycler.

Ok, I have another post of what is this stuff that I have inherited. I know it is power transmission conveyor parts which are chain driven. The small sprockets say Martin 35B9 and the large sprocket says Martin 35B18. The machined piece on the right has a base that is 7/8" square. I...

Here is the cable attachment

Certainly, this appears to be a possibility. I am a little stumped by the cable loop at the end. To me that suggests a lot of age yet it still has paint on it which suggests its not THAT old.

Scrap iron or scrap yard art.

It makes sense since there is an opening in the bottom at the top end.

I don't know the origin of this backhoe ditching bucket. It is approx 23" long X 6" wide. Note: it has a cable attachment point on the end so it must be old. Is it worth anything more than scrap iron?

I have three Simplex railroad jacks. 85A, 310A and an A1022. All three for $400 OBO. The jacks are in west Texas (Odessa).

Price lowered to $140.
