    how does the Jackshaft 3800 GDO work?

    Got it on the slope- so if I do need it, just just fudge it, no special connector needed. And no biggie on the hijack, just a wry observation on my part, have a happy new year, I'm heading out to the garage now to mess with the snow blower. E

    how does the Jackshaft 3800 GDO work?

    let someone answer my question about the slope of of the tracks, then you can hijack my thread- and just out of curiosity, why did you say "not to hijack the thread..", and then hijack it?

    how does the Jackshaft 3800 GDO work?

Got it shipped to a freight terminal for $3,200, including casters and a jack tray. Looking forward...

    Hey gang, new to the forums. Good news- I just ordered a Bendpak HD-9 4 post lift- yea! bad news (not really) is I will need to change my current GDO from a standard rail/chain to something else to get more height out of the lift. I was thinking about pulleys, disconnecting, etc, then I noticed...

    Garage Toys outside slider lift ???

    I am also in the market for a lift and found these guys a couple weeks ago. I live in the area, and was going to take a look. This company is really just one guy who runs a reseller type business- only contact is a cell phone and a wharehouse in Elk River. Here is what I found out. They have...
